[LizStreithorst]

What is an automatic water changer?  I envision something with drilled tanks pumps.

I just call it an automatic water changer. It's really just a python http://www.petco.com/assets/product_images/0/094036075148D.jpg

lol I use 2 pythons (1 for draining with a pump and 1 for filling.) It is far from automatic for me. lol

[big b]

Haha, weird

[LizStreithorst]

I have a big pump to drain and just valves to turn to refill and I don't consider mine automated.

[Mugwump]

Pump to drain, bigger pump to fill......

[big b]

Smart

[Mugwump]

Smart

I do use hoses......the tanks are not drilled, but this way allows gravel cleaning when needed too...

What are holes in tanks used for?

[Mugwump]

What are holes in tanks used for?

Tanks are drilled to allow for bulk head fittings to drain and refill tanks.....pvc out to a drain, or sump....and a fitting used for pumping water through pvc to fill....the pvc will have shutoff valves, etc for controlling the operation..
