I forgot to mention, on page 9 Shorty said:
I'm going to check out the cost of the bottom half of a concrete 2-pc septic tank, it should hold 400 to 500 gallons, the only drawback is that once it is set in place, it can't be moved easily.

If any of you ever decide to use a 1/2 septic tank or other cast concrete structure to hold water be aware that the PH will go WAY up. I had to use a septic tank (1000 gal) to hold water for our house in between well going dry and pond water - had water delivered to it. The water burned the skin in the shower! I had to drain it and paint the inside with waterproof basement cement paint (Thoroseal?) to stop the burning. I didn't measure the ph but it had to be high enough to kill fish.
