you could get fibreglass matting and use that to cover the interior of the base. make sure it is sanded/sealed properly and cured adequately before you use the cage.

Grab a phone directory and speak to the guys that do ventilation ducting, give them a design and they will make it for you, try using stainless steel sheeting if you can.

Sorry I am a bit thrown off here, are you asking what material to use to make the tank?

Well it is very difficult to know what you are asking about. Your sentence construction and punctuation makes it almost impossible to guess what you asking.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
