Cecil, I am 100% with you on the gravel floor. Changing plumbing, which will happen, for sure will be much more doable with gravel. Sawing concrete with fish in the building may not even be an option, as the dust could be a major concern to fish health. What about partial pours? Pours under the tanks themselves, and leaving the area in between gravel for a few years. Once the bugs are worked out, and you are set on your plumbing, concrete it in. Or concrete the entire building, and allow chases in the concrete with grates on top, that can later allow you to change or service the plumbing. Also consider this for your posts.

On metal, a local supplier here offers seconds. Often you can find nothing wrong at all. Usually the paint is off color, or may have an occasional fish eye, or bubble. These runs that are off are offered at substantial discounts.
I have seen many Amish built barns here in Ohio. The construction has been decent, but the materials have been substandard. The metal on these buildings has typically been lighter gauge. They are good craftsmen, but to believe that the Amish have some superior construction skills is simply not true. I think their primary unfair advantage against other contractors is the fact that they do not pay self employment tax (social security) So they had better be 15% cheaper right off the bat. Then I wonder about insurance, workers comp, etc. Though they do have the added expense of paying a driver to cart them around. LOL!
