My water changing system
130g: 7 Angelfish, 1 Bolivian, 17 Neon Tetras, 14 Serpae Tetras, 9 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, ? Ghost Shrimp
I've noticed that people HATE it when you point out how stupid they are, so now I try to do it politely.

One thing about using the water hose from outdoors, may want to run the water in the hose a bit to flush any water that has been sitting in the hose before sticking it in your tank. I try to dump my waste water with a hose out my window as well, 3 story drop to the bushes below!

Aren't you worried about shocking the fish with a temp change from the hose water? Or is it attached to a sink...? Looked like it was maybe run out of another window but couldn't tell.

Finally reached 6 tanks... oh god, this addiction is getting serious. 75g mbuna tank, 65g gold severum, 55g OB peacock breeding colony, 30g(36x18) growout, 20 long Dwarf Alto's, 10g fry tank.
If I die young bury me in... An 8x2x2 with versa tops and a large sump for adequate filtration;)

I think your waterchange system is fine, but I saw something with your tank that I would be VERY concerned about. It is not fully supported because it sticks off the end of the stand. This could cause a catastrophic failure and result in the entire contents of the tank spilling out onto your floor. Tanks need to be fully supported on the bottom. You need to get a stand that fits.

Kingfisher: Yes, completely agreed. A stand is actually the next thing on my agenda. It worries us quite a bit.
The tank hangs off each end about 2 inches, (yikes!). I tell you it was REALLY nerve racking when we moved it to paint the back.130g: 7 Angelfish, 1 Bolivian, 17 Neon Tetras, 14 Serpae Tetras, 9 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, ? Ghost Shrimp

In that case, excellent system! Originally Posted by tate8

Lol, I've never even seen a Home Depot. My whole town is considered 'in the sticks'. BUT that is a good idea.
