I python the water out and use buckets to fill.
wow a mag18! does it create a whirlpool?I use a python-type hose/siphon head to drain and clean all of my tanks. For the two planted tanks, I have a 4-stage RO/DI unit that fills a 50g trash can. I then use a mag18 pump to return water to the tanks.

what would your "other" be?There was no space for "other."
My sump pump is in my fishroom and the PVC along the bottom of my racks has T's that allow me to siphon multple tanks into it at a time. Part of my yard is real green all year.
I have 9 rubbermaid brute barrels on two levels in and around my fishroom. Fill water is pumped from 7 of these via a hose into the tanks one tank at a time. 2 barrels are just to collect R/O. Four barrels are R/O waste and 3 are a mix of R/O and tap. It takes three days for me to do all the water changes because of the R/O. The third day is just the 270 and 180 gallons and the 270 is somewhat automated. Actual work time is about 5 hours for all 45 tanks. I will soon have 6 more but they will be fairly small.
No water goes into my tanks that hasn't aged to perfection. Tank refill water is like a fine wine and must be very bitter straight from the fawcet.:lol: Just joking. I'm a fanatic. I have been this way for about thirty years. Tap water does not go into my tanks until it has been aged and inspected. All of it goes through the R/O carbon block so the need for chemicals is nada.

Please do show us!If someone can scan a copy of the biotope with my DIY instructions in it, I'll bring some pieces and show folks how at the next meeting.
It's really easy - even if you don't have drilled tanks. If I can do it, anyone can!
