HI, :wave:
We are considering getting some IBC tank's to set up a gravity fed automatic watering system for our Birds /sheep etc. Have other people used them , what are the pitfalls or benefits - algae?.

Does anyone have descriptions /photos of their systems and what receptacles are they using for water troughs / small mini waterers / hanging waterers / hanging drip lines/ small cups

How much head height works best and how do you get it?

What /how  do others use them for water storage / polytunnel / water recycling etc?

Also how many did you find you needed?

Any feedback would be great

Thanks
BL
