Aquarium Advice Addict
OK, so I’m convinced I need a RO/DI water for my FOwLR tank (125 gal). The units are too big to fit under my kitchen sink. I plan on putting the unit in the basement laundry room and using a hose connector to the washing machine hookup to make water as needed. I’ll make a batch to use for top off and carry a few gallons at a time to my top off drip tank.
For water changes my idea is to make up batch and pump it from the basement. Will a Mag Drive 1200 handle a 35’ run with a 10’ height?
It’s rated for 10 feet – 600 gph, Shutoff - 15 feet
A pump with automatic shutoff would be nice. That way I can mix, heat and age the water in a second container in the basement and pump it up from my mix container without burning out a pump (or needing a second person in the basement ready to pull the plug). Any suggestions in that regard?
I’ll be using a Python water changer to remove the water from the aquarium.
