That is what I had planned and put a air relief or vacuum break on the fill pipe. One thing we were debating was the use of plastic or steel, but we decided to groove it and go steel.

What I usually try to do is keep all of the suction pipe the same size (or larger, if distance is an issue) as the pump suction. I also like to valve each tank so if a problem develops, then you can isolate the tank and keep the system in service. The value of that has been debated on the Forum before, but I still prefer that arrangement. The pump or tank manufacturers might have something to say about it, too.
