A Quick Review of My Permanent Drain Line Before I Build A New One

Let's take a look at the permanent drain line system I built back in May 2024 - the basic setup, how it works, and what's next. It's all about simplifying the water change process.

can't wait to see how you put it together

[@garageaquatics2023]

I'm waiting for the rest of the parts. I ordered all the fittings from Home Depot instead of having to go to multiple stores.

[@GCaquatics]

Toast is sick a great idea Ron. I’d love to set something up like that one day. Make multiple water changes easy.

[@garageaquatics2023]

I'm hoping so, Gaberial. I'm just waiting to the rest of the parts to get delivered.

[@LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants]

Interesting system, hope it works well for you.

[@garageaquatics2023]

The current one works great and is such a time saver. I'm thinking the new one for the rack should be a huge time saver as well. We shall see! Thanks, Ben!

[@Gilsfishroom]

Blake's Aquatics has his small tanks set up with a permanent drain on the last tank, with permanent syphon inbetween each tank so they all drain and fill together. I think that your way is better.

[@garageaquatics2023]

@@Gilsfishroom I saw Blake's, I guess a few months back. Thanks, Gil.

Why would I need a drain line? Because I don't want to haul buckets!! Using the wastewater to grow terrestrial plants in the yard or garden seems to be all the rage these days. Saves on fertilizers, and water! I like how Ron charged his line with reverse flow; he doesn't suck, lol. I watched Arian's video already, and maybe someday soon I'll be able to work with irrigation pipe (low density poly).

[@garageaquatics2023]

We'll see just how it works out for 9 tanks all on the same line. Working with the poly pipe and fittings is really a breeze. I think you'd have a blast with it. With the right fittings, it gives a lot of flexibility.

Looking great Ron thanks for sharing 😊

[@garageaquatics2023]

Thanks, Jeff. Most of the parts are in. It should be a fun project!

[@GCaquatics]

Can you add pricing as well?

[@garageaquatics2023]

For the upcoming video? Yes. But that'll vary greatly depending on stuff.

[@SleeperBBQ]

nice Ron I'll be watching, water temp, is that a big deal because of the mixing of the waters? Thank You lol brain fart

[@garageaquatics2023]

I'm gonna say no. I usually refill my tanks from the garden hose. So when I do water changes, I drain all of the tanks down to my typical levels then refill them. After they've all been refilled, then I go around and dose them with the dechlorinator. And consider the cold water influx can trigger spawns in some fish.

[@SleeperBBQ]

@garageaquatics2023 ok never thought about the spawn thing
