I have done some research on the idea of a water change drip system for my 125g and would like to here some opinions,. The logistics of it are possible and easy to hide. I fully understand the physics of the drainage system so that isn't an issue either. The water would be a cold drip but so slow it shouldn't affect the climate and the chlorine should (in theory) have time to aerate. I'm almost positive that Cleveland does not use chloramines, but am still working on confirmation of that. Anything I'm not considering? What do you guys think?

You can drip it through bio balls in a pipe of pcv but the ends must be open to allow evap. Just a little section of like 1 1/4 (just big enough for the balls) pvc about a foot long mounted over the tank filled with bio balls. The bottom of it can have a plastic dowel to keep the balls in. This will only work if your water company does not use chloramine, if it does this will not work. More then likely it uses chemicals other then chlorine so you can use this to remove them before you drip into your tank: 3 Stage Water Filter System Under The Sink Mount Faucet and Filters Included | eBay With this you dont need to do anything but drip it in.
This is interesting... its a water breakdown for Cleveland, Ohio. This is where Kc maybe you or others could lend some expertise. Nowhere on there do I see the disinfectents, just disinfectent by products. So that doesn't tell me anything about chloramine or even chlorine for that matter. Unless they are under a different name that I am not familiar with.
