Nothing fancy, and Im not done on the tank side.. But it will make my job a little easier....

I will siphon like before and let it run out the garage and down the drive way then will pump freshly mixed salt water back into the over flow..

Hoping it works lol

I'm actually thinking of doing something similar. Let me know how it comes out.

Nice!

Man, I've done two water changes since moving my sump into the garage and both times I was wondering why I didn't do it earlier. It took a 30-45 minute process to 5 minutes and a lot less work.

I'm jealous

[LuckySingh]

[aquasport24]

You're not a true reefer if you don't have at least one hole in the wall..oh yeah honey , that hole was there when we bought the house.

Lol she got home yesterday and saw dust from the sheet rock on the floor and asked "what happened?"

I asked her to follow me and she mumbled "oh great".... She loved it lol she even asked "are you serious".. Rolled her eyes and went to her room.....

[Flyride95]

Lmao yea that is what my wife would do. Just there would be a bit of a fuss being ranted on her way out of the room lol

My aquarium spans four rooms. It's double sided in the living room and wet bar, Salt water mixing stuff and remnant lighting ballasts are in laundry room. And pipes go through the laundry room to the garage to feed the chiller. I'm not shy about poking holes in walls.

Its very basic, but i no longer have to pick up buckets or spill water on my living room floor.... Took literally 5 minute to change my water.... I am very pleased....

[Big_Pun]

OMG!!

[Cammed_02]

What about the sandbed?

[350gt]

OMG!!

Water change, so your tank wont crash.... ;)

[350gt]

What about the sandbed?

Pfffft..

2 mp40s and a sicce 4 return....

I never have to touch the sand bed..


Seriously, i havent had to touch my sand bed since owning 2 40s.... nTM mode works well for keeping stuff off the sand bed without rocking the tank like theres a typhoon...

omg

[Cammed_02]

hmmm....I'm diggin that idea.

[350gt]

hmmm....I'm diggin that idea.

You will be pleased......

I am... It took no time and all i did was sit and watch....

[rocketeer]

When I first saw this I thought it was something you did with your car. It turns out neither your car nor your tank crashed. :)

Jack

[350gt]

Well car was crashed a few weeks back, not the tank ;)

((Knock on wood))

[CoryDude]

OMG!!

omg!!!

Pretty nice idea. I see you even fancied it up with a wall flange too.

Fancy!! Lol

[glarior]

My kind of setup! Good idea

[350gt]

For something so simple, it was in the thought process forever... Lol

Ive only done one water change through it.... But it was so easy..... I love it!

[glarior]

Same way for my friend. Nice house but could not fit skimmer under or near tank with out looking ugly. One month of me teasing of cutting the wall out for access he punched a hole through the wall for the skimmer. It was the thought and wife permission that took the longest. In the end they both were happy.

Ive thought about running a collection cup for my skimmer in the garage but afraid of running the tank dry if it should go nutts....

[glarior]

Auto shut off waste collector. I just bought one made by reef octopus. I had that exact problem with my setup this past weekend. My friend getting one to cause his overflowed once.
