I’m going to work on building a smallish mixing station; but reading the forums I want to make sure I’m building for the future too.
I want to ensure:
* my apex dos is able to do ATO and water changes (which I think is all through 1/4 ro tubing
* I’m able to use my gravel vac
* I’m setup somewhat for a bigger tank in the future 100g+
my plan was to put in a washer machine outlet box/stand pipe as the drain.
but now I’m thinking since most of what goes to the tank is ro tubing maybe I don’t need this? At least not the water valve ?
I think I still need a drain so that the gravel vac has somewhere yo drain to but what “sucks” makes water flow for that?
thoughts?
