If so then you want to install a drain valve of some description as well as nice way of adding your new water back in.
I for example dose Kalk in my tank, so I have made space for a container that sits over the return section with a valve to control the drip rate.
Don't get me wrong I don't think it needs to be complicated, in fact I prefer my system to be fairly simple that way not much goes wrong!! But, I have space constraints and my sump and all of my equipment has to fit into a cabinet so careful planning was required.
Lots to think about and it will be worth getting it right. | Exactly. That's the beauty of putting the diagram up. I am still a newbie to this hobby and before I spend the dough and make the commitment I'd rather bounce it off the folks that have been in my shoes. I'll revisit the diagram and see where I'm at. I appreciate the help.
