Hi Everyone, I have a question....
I recently setup a 55g tank in my basement, I really didn't think things through here.....
I really have no way of gravel vacuuming or doing water changes, as there is no sink near this tank (to use a python) so I was wondering.....
I have an old water pump I used for draining my waterbeds years ago, I plugged the thing in, and WOW it still works, so I want to connect my gravel vac. tube to about 15' of hose and used this pump to "suck out the tank" you think this will work?
Before you say "how are you going to fill it back up" I'm going to use the garden hose attached to my "slop sink" in the garage (the connecter is all rigged together, so thats why I can't hook my python to it instead).
but it does have hot/cold water so I'll be able to get the temps right during refill.
I do intend to eventually fix the sink, at which point I can use the python again, but until then, do you think this will work?
