I use sand/gravel filters on all my holding tanks but also flow through well water. So I installed a shower drain for an over flow out to waste and routed a slip stream from the sand/gravel filter to the new show tank. Now my flow through instead of just leaving my 600 gal QT tank and going to waste now goes to the show tank and then to waste. The trickle doesn't look like much but it's a gallon every 10 minutes. 6 gallons an hour, 144 gallon water change daily. That's about 15% water change daily.
I used a rubber Fernco fitting on the out let so I can easily remove the tank and take it for shows.
These new show tanks are pretty darn nice for the money. And yes, I will be using the net cover.
