Re: WC sytem - not pulling water
i changed the design a bit and now things are much smoother. even thought it is slightly tweaked, i cannot take credit for this design. i was lucky enuf to hook up with DiscusDave and he gave me some insight. Dave is really a great guy....always a pleasure.
basically, gravity drain each tank, turn off the main drain valve. open the main fill valve and fill each tank 1 by 1. siphon is reestablished by shutting off each tank valve upon filling. old nasties can be flush out with a flush-tank.

Re: WC sytem - not pulling water
also...i think rather than use a tank to flush, i will make a hose attachment on the far end...that will allow a true flush.

@peachtree discus
i agree with u, the pump is not necessary, if you want the drain go rith one thing you need to do is put the valve at lowest level of your aquarium or it woulbe better if you put the valve below your aquarium level so the suck power will be stronger. many of breeders in my area do this method.
Still learning how to get it right
