Rain Water Collection / Filtration / Storage System Howto
Intro: Rain Water Collection / Filtration / Storage System Howto
This video shows a 300 gallon system to store water that is scalable using 55 gallon plastic drums and inexpensive components. Should be enough information for you to take from it what you need and make your own version. Hope it is helpful!

This looks like a really complex water collection cum filtration system and I bet it must have needed careful planning and hardwork to be achieved. Nevertheless, in response to all the commotion in the comments section, I guess different states have varying laws regarding rainwater. I heard some countries prohibit collecting it is simply because stagnant waters attract insects that could spread diseases.

I'd think that if you used blue/opaque barrels instead of the white that would help, or perhaps put either a roof over the whole affair or put a tarp over all of it, that would help.
Personally, as long as the algae doesn't clog the lines, I wouldn't care since it's a great source of plant nutrient...

I think your setup is one of the most efficient ($) at hooking barrels together. This one is similarly efficient, but gives 6 foot of water pressure when full:
