45 gallon plastic drum (although any water tight barrel would work ie wine, etc) with a spigot at the bottom and 20ft of garden hose.  It's collecting rainwater from my gutters

Well, you can daisy chain as many barrels together that you want. Just couple them together with hose or pipe at the bottom. Water will just flow from one to the other. Instead of three 45- gallon barrels, you have one 135-gallon reservoir.

I put this one together for my mother in law.  The 500 gallon tank is not nearly big enough.  I also included a close up pic of the brace that I made to support the 4 inch pvc supply to the tank.  So even though there is no woodwork involved there are a few items which were created in my  shop.  The water flows from the gutters, through a sock filter into a 60 gallon sediment tank which overflows into the 500 gallon tank.  Water in the tank is crystal clear.  Guess I need to get a picture after the cardboard was removed from around the tank, it was there to keep the sand out of the paint when I painted the tank.
