So i have tons of tanks...blah blah blah
and tons of cages with shallow but large water pans
and tons of filters
and a "python" which doesnt work so well
and tons of headaches.
recentely it occured to me that i could simply pump water out of large (but shallow) water pans with a powerhead or pump attached to some pvc or hard tubing. I have made my own filters for tanks and ponds but this never occurred to me before. It seems like a decent pump or powerhead could be attached to appropriate sized pvc and this to a long hose leading to somewhere where water could be (other than my carpets).Has anybody down it? Made a draining device with simple tools? Is there something obvious i am overlooking?
