3 tanks, 1 sump?

^ hahahaha... this can have its ups and downs. you have more water volume to decrease the ammonia and water changes, but then you have a lot more water to treat if something breaks out. as long as you know how easy/hard it can be both ways then i say go for it as long as your willing to risk killing fish that arent even in the same tank. if you think about it you really arent saving much time with maintenance, just time between maintenance. you will still have to gravel vac each individual tank etc etc etc.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Buying time between maintenance. I'd be fine if it averaged more time per month, provided I could do it only times a month instead of every 5 - 6 days

Seems full of win
Maybe I'm lucky (knock on wood) but I haven't had a a disease/parasite issue in three years! So all I see is a win!
You can centralize everything, your heating, drain, fill. I set up a trickle system that has completely eliminated water changes. I don't have heaters in each tank. You will love it. Go with the largest sump you can get then it will be easy to add more tanks and also the more water the better!
