[alberg30] Re: holding tank configuration

All -

Another option for someone who wants a "real" marine head but doesn't need a
large tank is a wraparound tank sold by Raritan (and probably some others).  It
holds 5 or 6 gallons and can be permanently installed or left portable(!).

This is really small, but I have survived with a 6 gallon tank installed under
the v-bearth for 4 years now.  A bigger tank is on the list, but some-how it has
not made it to the top yet.

Good luck.
