I’m designing a fish holding system for a friend
It will have a constant water change to each aquarium via a Hma
But I also want to put in a manual water change without having to get out the syphon pipe
So here’s my idea
Please tell me if you can see any reasons why it would not work before I put together a tank as a trial
Inside the tank the pipe goes down to the base with slits or holes in it at the lower end to remove any waste
There’s a hole drilled in it at say halfway point - this will allow air into the pipe and break the syphon caused by opening the valve to waste
Outside the tank the waste pipe is Teed
Down to a valve
Up to be an overflow for the constant drip feed of hma water
