Sure. I use a hose to siphon to the tub, then move the hose to my barrel and refill the tank while I drink coffee. Automation at it's finest I haven't lifted a bucket of water in years.

Me neither. Lifting buckets I'd say is the #3 cause of attrition in this hobby. My water station is in my basement. I pump it from there all the way to my living room with a long hose and plug the pump into a remote controlled socket (you can get from Canadian Tire). Press a button and go surf the web. Same process for pumping water out of the sump. Goes down that hose into the basement drain. I've saved a few reefers by pointing them to the remote switch/socket.
