hi,
i was hoping someone could help me with my attempt at a DIY water change system.
i live in an apartment and having a python connected to the kitchen sink, then running over the bar, through the dining room, isn't working out... luckily my laundry room is 10-15 feet from my tank and has connections and drainage for my washing machine that i think i can use.
basically, all i am looking for is two tubes, one that will put water in the tank and one that will drain water simultaneously. i would then keep the tubes attached and hidden in the laundry room and bring them out for the water change... ideally i would like to be able to set the water temperature as well.
i have attached below a picture of my faucet and drainage as well as a value i found at home depot for setting water temperature. notice i have two free pipes coming out of the wall. i think this may have been put in in case extra faucets were needed? if so that would be perfect...
where i really need help is with all the connectors, motors, tubing, etc that i would need to make this work. i really have no idea about plumbing and am not sure what i need to go out and purchase.
any help would really be appreciated,
thanks,
slevytam
