Multiple Tank Filter

[Greenaveli]

I am curious....Does anyone have any suggestions. I want to set-up five 5 or 10 gallon tanks for various fish. I figure the easiest thing would be to drain all of them into the same filter and use pipping to pump the water back. The only problem I have is that I have no idea how to get the water from the tanks to the wet dry without an overflow system. I am not sure if I am explaining what I want o do correctly. Please help.

Life will be easier by drilling the tanks for bulkheads. Other than that, make an overflow for each tank. If it is going to be indoors, consider a drip tray under everything for when the overflows stop working.

Another option is sponge filters. It takes the headache of water logistics out of the picture but then water changes become a bigger chore.

So, (yup, that so again) do you not want an overflow? or do you not know how to do it without drilling? There are many ideas for not drilling, but still overflowing.

search DIY for overflow, and there are quite a few ....

Unless, you don't want any sort of overflow.
