Great rainwater catch system but it fills quickly. Rather than install additional tanks, a PVC elbow will be put on the overflow pipe (the one sticking out the side) and additional pipe leading to the ground where a trench will be dug to bury enough pipe to carry the overflow discharge to be dispersed out in the field, preventing erosion around the area of the house.

1200 Gallons collected during one storm - simply from the runoff from the roof. Amazing...
