Water holding tank

My original plan was to get 2 55 gallon storage tanks (craigslist for under $50 check under rain barrels) and run the filter (see water filer in the DIY section) to the drums. Then circulate the water with a sump from harbor freight and then to the fish tanks. Adding a float valve will ensure they don't flood the room.



The control valve when closed will circulate the water. When open it will be used to fill the tanks.

I'm using a 240 GPH pump that I use to empty the tanks. I put a modified end to the pump so it will pull the water with out sucking in the fish. Again the plan is to use another 55 gallon drum to collect the fish water out side and use it in the yard.

Here is the updated 100 gallon holding tank with a spray bar to help circulate the water:

No tanks or fish just good friends and allot of fun...
