I just bought a new house and I would like to add another tank, but I don't want the hassle of keeping a separate system, I'd like to do 1 water change, set tests, etc...
My problem is that they would be located on the same floor (slab) of the house and at opposite ends. I'm hoping there some really nifty way to connect them via overhead plumbing that I just haven't heard of. I'm opening several holes in my ceiling to redo some electrical, move some plumbing for upstairs bathrooms etc, so a few more holes to run lines for a tank wouldn't be a problem.
I know there are dual head peristaltic pumps that would remove/add the same volume of water to the secondary tank that is away from the sump, but that's not enough water exchange for filtration.
Any ideas on how to swap main tank water and secondary tank water on a 1:1 basis using overhead plumbing at a high enough flow for filtration on a 120gal?
