My exact set up on 4 of my tanks. I have an incoming manifold that splits into 4 lines. Cold water drips into the four tanks each with its own adjustment knob. 1" pvc elbow in my sump that is adjustable for the sumps water height. A main drain around the backs of all the tanks going to my yard. No additional water bill because I was going to water the plants anywayAuto drip idea
Have a cold water line installed above the tank to drip in cold water constantly into tank. Really won't effect 450 gallons too much and the heater is working great. Just not sure 100 percent about the controller but hard to get a constant temp on 2 gallons of water when it's made to heat min 300 gallons. Lol. At least it works well. I saw another person show an idea where you install a 90 degree elbow as a drain in the tank. Turn it up for a higher water level and lower for a lower water level. Would be best if I could install that elbow into the hole in the sump and use that as an auto drain so when the water hits a certain level it overflows into the 90 degree elbow and then into the drain pipe. I don't want any floats or anything that can fail while I an not around. I want it to be simple and effective. And if I don't have to do water changes just clean the bottom of the tank that sounds easy. This is when I will have to see if I have the height to let the water fall all the way to the drain which is close because a bathroom is on the other side of the wall.

It's going to make it's own little fish room area. Going to have a 24 inch door on one side to access the back room. I took pics last night but too large for loading up. Forgot to change size on camera. I will add more tonight.Nice find. Are you planning on setting it up to go around a corner or?
