If anything ever happens that the slurry gets thick in those tanks it will be some job to move it , big lumps won’t flow around corners , put plenty of water in first every time it’s empty , other wise it turn out a nightmare to move.

There is no reason why you would let it get to that situation. Season 9 with it now and I would build the same again. It does my head in when you see slurry towers with a crust coming over the top or even worse a tree growing in it, its a waste of a natural resource and its just down to management.
I’ve a friend who’s doing a shed similar to @Fergieman , 300 cubicles, extra wide feeding passages that are a collection yard leading to the rotary. He’s installed a bubbler system, so slurry will be homogeneous all the time.
