Welcome Gabriel. I used a 9000Lt rain water tank and just cut the top off inside the thickened top rim. As it is 1.8 meter high I need a step ladder to look inside. If I had my day again. I would bury half of it into the ground. This would help with temperture control, would make it easier to work around and would make the pumping system a bit simpler.
