Ordered my rainwater tank today from Rainfill, only going for a slimline galv tank which will hold 1400L, but I am getting the matching galv stand and it will look really nice IMO. The guys there were very helpful and it will be ready and delivered in 7-10 days, happy with that.

I made sure to drop your name EB and mentioned that I would be grabbing an aqua tank from them soon as well. They should be paying you a comission I reckon... :)

Thought I would post some dimensions for you:

Got their largest slimline, 800 wide x 1300 long x 1630 high ~ 1400L @ $619 plus matcing stand $95 = $714 total. Aquaplate coating, 20yr guarantee.

Apparently going any larger with a slimline tank is not possible as the weight of the water is too great for the straight sides to hold it, so this is the largest size offered.

Very happy with it, was nice and easy to install and the guys at Rainfill were very helpful. I reckon it looks quite good as well, was going to paint it but I like the galv...

Hahah, yeah I had that thought when I was filling the stand (yes, which is the bit below the tap) with sand.

I reckon the stand would make an awesome growbed if you put a bottom on it and a tap fitting. Depending on the space that I end up using, I might get a couple of oval shaped growbeds made up instead of round ones.
