I built an overflow with neoprodigy's help; I have pics of it being put together, but I want to get pics of the entire setup, which I haven't taken yet.

Hopefully I'll get to drill the tank, when I have a place to put the inhabitants. Thanks for all of your help!!!

Neat. Glad this finally got going.

I may have missed it but to cut off the water flow in a power failure is a solenoid valve the power goes off the valve closes simple and effective

Here's an easier option so yo don't have to drill the tanks or setup a new drip system water changer. How about getting an extra long python and a big bottle of prime decholorinator. If you wanna take it a step further try getting a tap water filter from Dr.foster&smith http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4484. No buckets, you save some $$$$ all you need is a little dedication and schduled maintance.

Just remember to show her how to use an API test kits for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and PH

Sorry to derail but has anyone used one of these... the description reads

"Produces an average of 25 to 125 gallons of perfect aquarium water, depending on the mineral content of your tap water, before a new cartridge is needed."

Seems to need filter replaced more often than most

I would definitely go with a Sediment/Carbon block system, seeing as I change 1 gallon / hr. It works for me, but if your system has chloromines you should use a doser; if you need some help with that, I'll get you the link.
