They are OK, bit big maybe, but if you have the space, then they are a good start. How will you power it up? I used an old water extinguisher, longer and more slender. Extinguishers are good, you can get almost any size to suit the space available.

Andrew the tank is about 400mmx200mm round without including the connections on the end.
I picked up from victorian truck wreckers on cooper st off sydney road heading towards epping for 20 dollars.
