[Overflow design to also allow for larger water changes, advice sought]

Okay so here you go. . . one hole in the tank at what you want to be the large water change level. The height of the top T and 90 is what sets the water level in the tank. Using the T makes it so that no siphon can be created, You could also probably use two 90's and drill a hole in the top for a siphon break. Auto drip type water change and the water overflows and goes down the drain. Note: the ball valve must be closed for this. Large water change, open the valve and the tank will drain down to the level of the bulkhead fitting. This keeps all that extra pipe and stuff out of sight and out of the tank. No need to reach in the tank and rotate a pipe, etc.

Pictures are just for the idea you would need to determine the actual lengths of pipe etc. Might need some trial and error on getting the water level set. But once you did one tank you should be able to do any others.

Hope that make sense. 

If I could absorb 5% of what goes on in your brain, Id be a brilliant man.

dude this is awesome! now that its really booming after 30 days and the numbers are only going up by thr day, at about what day do you think youll need to start feeding? or do you think the foliage breaking down will sustain until the winter?

 

also this is the nerd in me tryna maximize outcomes, do you think there are things you could feed to maybe gut load them in a sense? like feed them nicer things than foliage waste or do you think it wouldn't really matter much for the nutritional transfer from brine to fish.

favorite line strain has to be the albino sky blue guppies. 

if im nitpicking it would have to be this hybrid albino blue/red guppy I made on accident my one of my albino red males getting into the albino blue side of the tank. i have him in with a non albino female that looks very similar to him, seeing if i can replicate this 

[That one task?]

im awful at putting things away, i used to store everything i would need during a day in a dresser across the room and i would just leave bottles of test fluid,airline tubing nets etc.etc. on top of all the tanks, i just set myself up an old maid-cart for my daily activitys on the plus side i put a 32 gallon trash bin on the front so i can have a mobile basin for water changes.  im hoping the cart always being right there next to me ill stop setting things on top of the tanks now.

Hey guys how’s it going. My names Devlin 21 year old from good old’ Wisconsin.  My most notable point is I’m one of the 3 Axolotl breeders per state in the US 😂 I mostly focus on genetics and making sure all my Axolotls are selectively bred to make sure nothing but strong genes are going out into the hobby as I feel I’ve noticed increased numbers of Axolotls that just aren’t thriving. Have vitiligo or don’t re-gen limbs back correctly when damaged or have other undesirable traits like short gills or other random deformities.I’m gonna do my best to change than and hopefully become the best breeder of Axolotl in the US although my peers are extremely Talented breeders. Enough about the water lizards. I also have a passion for puffer fish I’ve kept pea puffers and my absolute favorite the GSP (even have a tattoo of one on my arm)  I also keep some guppie strains I have albino sky blues from twin cities guppies and some diamond backs on top of a strain that I made on accident I’m trying to reproduce. 
 

hope to be seeing and hearing from all of you as I’m sure if you’re listening you’ll be hearing from me ive attached a bunch of photos of my babies  😀 -Devlin
