I want an automated water change system.

Take the lazy mans way out.

I took the lazy way out and plumbed 3 tanks into a common sump so I could use a single ATO. Makes water changes a lot easier. I siphon crap out of the bottom of the tanks, then move my top-off pump from the ATO pail to my water change pail.

When I turn the ATO back on it refills my tanks and stops when done. I just need to remember to move the pump back into the top-up pail of fresh water when done.

80 gal total system. 5 gal change weekly
