New 13 gallon UC Setup In Progress

So, I took the plunge and purchased the UC12XL13 unit from CCH20. This is a 12 plant system with 13 gallon buckets in the XL configuration supporting 6000 watts total. I have

6000W using (6) 8" blockbuster hoods
Titan Helios 7 Light Timer 240v
Titan Kronus 4 Environmental Control
Carbon Filter 10" x 39" 1400 CFM
(2) Vortex 8"
Advanced Nutes
and a bunch of other stuff...

My biggest delima right now is figuring out how to handle the water for this sytem. It uses 130 gallons at a time during veg and around 80+ during flower. I have an R/O system to get the water, but I'm trying to figure out how I can best store it. This is in a basement. Right now, I'm looking at something like this:

Does anyone have any suggestions on this water tank? Is there any better/CHEAPER way of handling the water?

Also need suggestions on how to hook this up the R/O to a float valve with a reservoir so the reservoir always stays full without overflowing.

The room is about 200 sq ft. There is an A/C duct going into that room from the rest of the house. The lights are all vented through 8" duct. Will I need an additional A/C unit to keep this room at the right temp? I'm not running CO2. Also, will I need a water chiller?

Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!
