And another 250 gallons. This is quite fun.

Seems like this would fill up almost right away given the seemingly large roof?
I'ma need a quick run down on your whole system
At this stage it is that 2,500 gallon tank to water an upper for forest (starting to plant that soon) and two IBC (250 gallon) totes.
The larger tank still needs a rain source. I had a tarp to collect water but it collapsed when we were gone. One your collecting from the roof of the house and another from the roof of the woodshed.
We have 2 more totes to be placed as well. May do those today.
I'm wondering about the inlets and outlets. Do you filter the water? How do you make sure it doesn't get nasty/moldy/mosquito heaven. Do you have a pressure pump or gravity feed?
I'm fumbling my way through all this. At this point I am putting the water through a screen as it comes in. Gravity feed on all of them. I plan on covering them to help prevent muck from forming. They are all for watering plants.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get these tanks on a budget? We spent about $1000 on our 305 gallon barrel after shipping. We want another (up to 500 gallons) but can't afford it right now.
The square caged IBC tours are pretty ubiquitous from what I can tell. The ones we bought were used to transport vinegar.
I works check marketplace or whatever classifieds you have around your place. Things are expensive around here and we paid $125 each I believe. They are 1000 liters/250 gallons each.
If you have a tractor supply, get a stock tank. ~$300 for 300 gallon tank
Nice, do you have a flush piece or just straight to the tank?
