As were getting put in a nvz and only have slurry storage under ground for a month i will have to increase it but as the cows are on round bale silage which we make on the dryer side the slurry becomes pretty stiff and often have to add water to mix it up in the underground store so would it be a problem for a slurry tower putting stiff muck in it or anyone any other ideas?

I think it would be. It is a pity weeping wall units are out of favour with the EA. I already need to visit two farms in your area soon, I could make it three. PM or email me a few more details. ie number and ages of stock, housing, dairy or beef etc.
If it is properly stirred as being emptied and properly emptied every year I would say you will be fine.
Surprising how much rainwater you will catch compared to a underground store , making it more manageable

I have shed gutters made so that if it gets to thick i can let in the roof water in as im sucklers and it can get thick on me in a above ground store, dosent take much water to correct it.

Yes but it takes a man spending time he could use doing something profitable, with a machine burning a lot of diesel to mix the rain water in with the slurry.

Build the slurry store twice as big as you think you need, and every time you scrape out, pop the cork out it. Or do something similar with a 200l barrel and rain water.
