Default radiant"heat" side of DIY HP storage tank?

In the photo of your Beta HP it looks like you have barrels on both sides. If so is the one on "hot" radiant there because you are not completed on that side(floor not installed) or do you see need for a tank as well. I have completed design of my radiant system, having two levels, a basement short term floor storage bed and main floor "heat" run and combined they only contain 15-16 gls of fluid. Wondering if this can be run directly thru HX or if small tank would not help buffer as well. Could "hot" HX(proper type) be worked directly into a recycled tank? For the less mechanically adventurous such as my self wish they made a water source HP domestic H2O heater.
