I don't think I would feel safe with a homemade version that large. I know
they can be just as good or better. I am just thinking what do you guys
think an insurance company might do if one that large fails & they find it
is home made.

Why wouldn't it be as safe? Its going to be tested outside the house and
allowed to sit for a week. If it doesn't fail in that week, chances are its
not going to fail at all. I now have a person who is going to help me
through some of the processes. He works here in a local fishshop and has
been building homemade tanks for years, he now has a small business (though
orders are rare for that type of thing here). I don't see why it matter if
its homemade in an unfinished basement with good drainage.
