Nice rig. Couple of comments: 1) I'd maintain the largest lines when connecting the totes. You have garden hose. I'd prefer to use 1 1/2" - 2" PVC or flexible hose with minimal right angles. 2) I'd minimize the right angles. These create back pressure and make your pump work harder. 3) I'd add some sort of screen to the top hoses - maybe some more of the strainer bag. Don't want any critters getting in and blocking the hose. Good luck
Consider a colored IBC or tote cover to block the UV. Painting is cool but HDPE does not take paints and glues and adhesives. Lastly, don't forget that output water flow is limited to input vent flow.

Great video. I plan to create a similar approach for irrigating our high tunnel.
How much acetone should be added to the paint?
I go with the air spray gun instructions on the can. 1.5 pints per gallon. Thanks for watching!!!!!!
why you need to paint it?
stop algae growth, sunlight breaks down food grade plastic, keeps water cool ruclips.net/video/JkqRQJxyuaY/видео.html
it seems that it is very slow for water flow one tank to another one
