da rubbermaid 300

A pump would be much easier, and well worth the cost.

I thought about that, but it still has some problems. I could use the pump that is in the sump (becuase it can't run when I take out more than 10 gallons anyways), but I would then need 70'+ of 1" vinyl tubing. I haven't found that stuff for less than $1 a foot.

I will probably end up doing something like that, but I'll just stick to the buckets now I guess.

Is there a floor drain near by?

DO IT!!! It is still just as clean. I just have to figure out something for water changes. No sink downstairs and its over 75' to the kitchen sink. So... I am doing 10-15 (5 gallon) buckets every week. Its working fine for the water quality, but my back is getting tired.

Would a python (a long enough one of course) drain the water UP to the sink upstairs?

I have the same problem with all of the tanks and ponds in my basement NO SINK but I own a 75' python its great although I dont use it to vacum stuff in the basement just fill I use my 25' python dumping into a floor drain for the vacum... I couldnt deal with out it its a life saver to do a 50% water change on the 750 already takes 1.5 hours to refill it if I had to use buckets I woud be dead!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love these rubbermaid stock tanks... I used them on my salt water display...

Here is whats behind my 600gal...

This is what I used for extra supports under the 50gal stock tanks...

What are those support beams made of (plastic? painted metal?)

Where did you get them?

Looks like regular PVC with flanges on the ends.
