I've been in the hobby for a few short months now and I'm already tired of lugging buckets and jugs of water. I'm setting up a water mixing station in the basement, which still leaves me hauling water upstairs for the time being. I want to go ahead and plumb a drain in the wall under my DT and run a water line up for water changes and soon, to feed an AWC system. How are you guys doing this? If I do this, should I just go ahead and move the sump to the basement as well so I don't regret not doing it later?
I've got 3 Sicce Syncra 3.0 pumps, 2 in my sump and one I'm using to mix water & serve as my backup. The max head on these is 9.9 feet. My basement ceiling is 8 feet. If I move the sump, will I need to buy 3 new pumps since I'd be right at the limit?
Looking to learn from those with experience rather than learn yet another lesson the hard way.
Pics of your basement plumbing/sump/water stations would be much appreciated.
