Anyone use a Chem-Tainer 200 Gallon Vertical Storage tank?

[kinetic]

I'm planning out a holding tank for NSW deliveries and have a 34" wide x 34" deep x 92" tall area to put a tank as big as possible. I found a bunch online but they're normally about $400 + $400 shipping, but on Home Depot they sell these Chem-Tainer versions with only a $55 delivery fee.

This is the one I'm looking at:

Chem-Tainer Industries 200 Gal. Black Vertical Water Storage Tank TC3172IW-BLACK - The Home Depot

Protect your drain from becoming blocked with the addition of this durable Chem Tainer Industries Black Vertical Water Storage Tank.

www.homedepot.com

In the question/answers area, someone asked if you can see the level, and the answer was that there's a slight shadow but no clear portal. I guess that's good enough. There will be some afternoon sun exposure (it's in a covered but not fully enclosed area) so that will be nice.

Has anyone used these tanks before or have any other suggestions where I can skip $400 shipping fees?

I got mine at tractor supply locally. You can often find them for sale on facebook or craigslist too, dirt cheap.

Tractor supply only has the 300 gallon. While it would fit, it's not super ideal, and I only need/want a 200 gallon. But either way, I'm happy paying the $55 shipping from Home Depot, but before I pull the plug, just hoping to see if anyone used this specific tank and had experience with it. Overall, it seems straightforward and would work, but who knows.

You can easily add a water level gauge. Just drill two small holes, one towards the top and one at the bottom, for 90s. Then attach the two 90s with a clear tube. You can see the water level in the tubing.

make sure you cover the clear tube with a black/light blocking tape, if this is to be left outside, ask me how i know.
