If you have a lumber yard near, they'll usually finish two edges (S2S) with a jointer/radial saw so you can work off of those edges.

Are they strong woods?, tank will be around 500kg when filled.
I'd go with poplar, it's a lot more dense than soft pine. The cheapest and strongest route for joinery with your tools would be dowels, pocket joints, or biscuit joints (although you'll need a biscuit jointer for the latter.)
Can't really do much else without a table saw.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
