I saw something like this by accident on a YouTube video and decided to take it a step further.

Items needed:
All 1/2" PVC parts
PVC pipe
Elbows
Tee
Valve
Coupling slip to threaded
Hose barb threaded
Clear tubing
Nylon plumbers tape
PVC pipe cutter
PVC cement
PVC cleaner

Cost less than $30.00 - I had the PVC pipe cutter.

Hook this to a power head.. to fill tank.
Hook to a toilet or sink to drain.

Only other change I am going to add is strainers on tee end to avoid sucking in fish.

Beats lifting buckets and spills... and best of all on fills no more gravel flying around.
