Thanks, I used a 3/4" polypropylene bulkhead fittings to couple the surge tank to the main tank. A "breather" tube from the top of the surge tank to the top of the main tank would make it better. But I tested the 3/4" fitting and it's large enough to allow free flow between the 2 tanks with only a very small amount of air trapped on the top of the surge tank. I was able to tighten the fitting enough so that it holds the surge tank very well. These fittings are quite sturdy.
I used stainless steel 306 for the brackets. I stood on top of the main tank and the brackets were just about to yield. I weigh 155 lbs (11.07 St)
