Hi!
I'm building a breeding setup for my wife with 10 15G tanks. The tanks will all be laid out on a countertop, two rows of 5. The tanks are drilled on the bottom, and I have the setup for the overflows all setup. Each row will drain into a 3/4" PVC pipe and flow back to the sump. There is a separate pump setup for each row of tanks to return water to them from the sump. The pumps pump into a 1/2" pipe, which will branch into the tanks, each with their own ball valve to control flow, and an overflow on the end so that any excess water will flow past the tanks and into the drain line back to the sump. Each tank can be shut off individually from fresh water for isolation, etc.
I wish I had this drawn out, but I'm at work so that's not going to happen right now. If you can make sense of my ramblings, I'm looking for any improvements, suggestions, ideas, etc.
I'd also like a link to a good site that explains PVC fitting, types of fittings, and any other information a PVC noob like me might need.
Thanks!
