I'm thinking the 33" tank needs a baffle IF the 33" dimension is fore/aft.
Please design access to the tank so you can get in and clean into the corners. Don't rely on Clorox to keep the tank clean. All you need is one fill-up from untreated well water, and you'll have swimmers in your tank.
How are you building this tank? I know of one fellow that just fiberglassed over the cardboard, then let the cardboard dissolve. I DON'T recommend it. The inside of the tank wants a smooth surface for easy cleaning and coating with an NSF approved tank coating (no fiberglass taste). Make sure there's an outlet/drain from the low point in the tank.
