    Is there any way that I can put a 30 gallon under my 75 gallon tank and still have it top off my tank? I can't do anything gravity fed but I need help so any suggestions would be great and any products would be even better. Thanks

    If you don't have a sump you'd have to have a float switch in the dt that controls a pump in the 30g. There are alot of DIY kits available for under $50.

    Autotopoff.com or aquahub has one too.

    I would use an aqualifter pump to add TO water to the main tank.
