If you live in South Australia and if you meet the requirements you can currently get up to $200 rebate for a rain water tank from SA Water.

I read the details on the SA Water website and I found that it does not need to be connected to the household plumbing and there's nothing specifying that you can't put fish into it :D

Mitre 10 at Sheidow Park have a 1000 litre tank for $201 and if you go to their website http://tanksforsale.com.au/delivery.html they offer free delivery in metro Adelaide.

So with the rebate, I just bought a 1000 litre Maxiplas round tank for $1.

No I'm not afiliated with the store at all, I just wanted to share the bargain. :thumbright:

Please read the SA Water page for the rebate details:

Pretty cool, yeah?

I'm actually planning on cutting it in half and creating 2 x 500 L tanks. They will be 1 meter high each and there's a few options available for structural integrity. I might put a brace across the top in a big X to hold the sides where they need to be. I also have the option of putting some star droppers into the ground there for extra support.

Hi The Steve, we do actually have a 1000lt tank sitting around. We bought it off Monya but haven't actually used it. Your welcome to make an offer if you are interested.

Thanks for the offer. That's one nice looking tank, however we are tight on space in our yard and I'm already pushing my luck with the $1 tank (wife took some convincing).

Erich you're more than welcome to it. :)
