So today I took a giant leap for mudbuttjoneses everywhere. I took a (brand new) aqueon 800gph pump that I've had for a few months now. And hooked it up to 1.25" corrugated sump discharge hose. I almost went for the 1.5" hose but im glad I didn't. this stuff is heavy and unweildy when filled with water. Stuff is way cheap. $6 for 24ft and comes with a hose barb (MPT x female hose)
BEHOLD MY MASTERPIECE!
It has Ballvalves so I can be lazy and leave water in it between water changes, and the wife cant yell about water on the carpet. The pvc section on the end is a chunk of plumbing from an old sump set up all glued together. It pays to be a pack rat.
I've got a 90g and 40b sump in my kitchen, a 75g in my bedroom, and a 40b in the living room
My problem is that it can drain the 90 gallon in a few minutes, which is much faster than the sink can drain, in the summer I'll run this outside. Luckily the pump has adjustable flow from 340-796gph. So it works ok on the low setting, the sink can barely keep up.
I also made this a year ago to replace my broken aqueoun water changer (python)
It works wonderfully but it takes over 2 hours to drain and refill the 3 tanks.
