Dear all, I have 3 x 50 gal tanks for breeding and raising discus and would like to prepare a simple automated water change system with no RO or aging water necessary. The tanks are inside my bathroom therefore the access to water is no problem. However I am looking for like a diagram which would tell me where to start and what items I need. What I know is I don't need a aging system since the water coming into my apartment have already gone through a reservoir on the roof of the apartment.

What I am merely picturing is a system where at a set time:

1. the water will be drained out into sewer.
2. pumped back into tank with fresh clean water.

The tanks are on top of each other held by a metal stand.

Please if anyone have seen something like this on a diagram please let me know!
