David,

Virtually any size linear polyethylene tank is available, from 500 to 
10,000 gallons. An easy size to handle is a 2,500, but since you say 
it's for a nursery you'd better give 'em at least 5,000 in storage. This 
will get them through a couple days of no or low sun. Sizing for one 
day's use is a very bad idea. Be sure to get the heavier wall satiety.
