thats the trick the ball valve part. I bet you probably have a drain near the tanks too dont ya. If it werent for all those buckets (and back aches) it would be a breeze:P

the name come from the fact that the first forum i was ever on was a piranha keeping forum i found while researching before i got mine, then i had started a fish keeping forum of my own, intending it to be more of a local thing to get people around here linked up for trades, etc. Not to long after that i found out there was already an aquarium society in town, so i kinda forgot about the idea, because i saw no need to "compete" with what was already going. The name stuck through a couple different fish related forums im on, the origional piranha one, our local club site, a salt water focused forum, and now here because I dont like having to remember a ton of different names for different sites.:hijackd: again, sorry:rolleyes:

I'd have it no other way.;)

well im in school and still living at home, so drains and fill lines really arent an option for me right now, but one of these days......:rolleyes: . I'll probably be dreaming of a set up like that tonight :P haha

It's not a window; it is actually a "cutout" between the dining room and kitchen. :) something that people used for food serving before I took over the house and used the dining room for snakes/tanks, lol.

Why not get that Python siphon? I use it and it is simple to fill/drain; the biggest part of it is not forgetting that it's filling.. I actually nearly flooded our house a few years back while doing this; came back to find water EVERYwhere about an inch thick; it was draining into the dirt-floor basement through the heating vents...! Luckily it was summer time; but I am more vigilant now.

sounds a little like the way my grandmas tank is set up. Her livingroom and diningroom are more or less one big room that is divided by a built in entertainment center that has counter top on the back of it. Her tank is setting on that counter and can be seen from both rooms.
