malawi sand diver Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Below vid of my filtration system on my 6 x 2.5 x 2. Got 3 canisters. Seems to be doing a good.job. Im going to drill a hole through the wall and have a pump behind my background so i can flick a switch and it drains out half the tank each week. Then hook the other end up to the tap outside to fill up. It would be the same line e.g. when i hook the tap up atb the other end outside to fill up it will come through the pump and into the tank. Anyone done anything similar? https://youtu.be/EBXD3qTVB68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdance Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I used to do the open drainage tap thing to water change but it's still time consuming as you still need to turn things off and watch the fill up without over flowing. Nowadays I use an overflow to displace water down drain either on the main tank or sump. So to water change say 20% I just that amount into the tank. Either by dripper from tap (24/7) or by gravity drain from a water storage container. Especially good during winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
