Setting up my new tank. The tank sit right behind the laundry room, separated by an interior wall.
In theory, i should be able to connect a 1/2in hose from the tank to the laundry drain. i can then drain the aquarium straight to the drain. Alternatively i can attached a small pump to push water to the drain. I think gravity should work, and it allow me to clean the sandbed as well. I plan on storing the gravel cleaner under the cabinet. The other end of the drain is going to be left attach to the washer drain. 1/2 inch because this is the largest hose i can fit in the current washer drain box.
The drain may not support running the washer and extra water from the tank. This is fine, as I can plan my water change when the washer is not running or vice versa.
The goal is not to carry buckets of water.
I'll also run a RO line from the kitchen to the tank ( maybe 15-20ft run under the crawlspace) . Plan have 10G mixing station in the cabinet. This is a AIO setup, without a sump. I can fit a 10G brute and will use a small pump to transfer clear saltwater to the tank.
I have a tankless RO rated for 400GPD. However, it is not designed to run continuously more than 30mins to prevent pump overheat. The system will automatically shut down. I figure should be able to get ~8G in 30mins or less. Will add a DI. The auto shut down is nice, since it will prevent flooding the living room if I forget to turn off the water.
Will this work? Any comment is appreciated.
