    your looking for above the ground distance rather than up the wall, correct? (Top of fill pipe) Check the code in your area.(should be around 3' above ground)

    Did you post pictures of your finished tank pipe set up?
    Did I miss them?

    Scully has a locking cap that uses a magnetic "key" to unlock it. At least with that you would have a solid connection to the hose while still keeping the kids from dropping rocks or the ends of garden hoses down them. If anyone really wants to get into the tank, they can simply unscrew the entire cap.
