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.
