Aged water is pumped back into the tank from the storage barrels. See how I use the Aqua Clear lid to hold the end of the hose into the filter to refill this tank?

The hose attaches to the sink and the barrels are refilled for tomorrow. Each barrel has a heater that just lays in the bottom of the tank. I've never had a problem as the water absorbs the heat so the plastic does not melt. The water is agitated for three hours and heated overnight for use the next day.

I keep two sponge filters running - each is in a 29 gallon tank. I remove the aqua clears and use sponges with new freeswimmers. Once the babies are big enough I add the Aqua Clears back
...and this is what happened. When the thing tipped over the heater burned a mark on my carpet, and worst, the whole carpet stinks. Now it'll need to be professionally cleaned. Paid for my stupid mistake big time.
