Hi, I have heard of some that have a DIY device that uses pipes etc... to drain and fill their tank with just piping plumbed directly into a drain, and filled by just turning a valve...

I have searched and searched the DIY section with no luck...

I know its recommended for larger tanks. I just have a 75 gal. but have not set it up yet and wanted to do this to make my life a little easier.

Anyone got step by step instructions?

Thanks Josh

Not really sure what you mean stand pipe? but what I gather is that I need to drill a hole in the bottom or side of my tank? If im using a all-glass aquarium standard 75 gal. tank, im guessing I cannot drill a hole?

How practical is this? or should I stick with just using my python?

Thanks Josh
