Piping all done up now but haven't decided which to use:
Sump tank or Eheim 2260 canister.
Any suggestion?

i'd definitely go for a sump tank

I would prefer a heater but its ultimately your decision! Can place in sump. just imo. looks interesting though im not sure how it workshmm. have the input. but wheres the output water goes to?. do show us the finished product!

i think drilling a hole at the base of each tank would be able solve the problem.

meaning control by a vault? like on for a few minute everyday? else water level will be low and constantly need to fill water....alway circulation?

no bro, actually its only during WC if im not wrong. and also a float type cut off system similar to our toilet bowls can be implemented to ensure the water storage tank always has water.

hope it helps

Uncle Chai,

This is some other way people do drip system.

The key is they use some sort of gutter or water holder for waste water then channel to output pipe flow.

hope give you some ideas.

eagerly waiting for your end product.

consider take note on your journey, next time easy for scaling on small and large project.

importantly, need to take note on the total weight that the gutter can sustain.

having a room full of water spill on the floor is no fun when the gutter broke down.

Modified four units of my acrylic 6"x6"x8"h tanks for testing.
As shown below.


System testing All OK !!!!!!
Next modify the rest of the tanks,purchase elbows n tubing.

Thanks for the links.
As I have to use back all the existing tanks and rack,I don't have much option
left for myself.Also have to go green :reuse,reduce n recircle.
These the best I can do for now maybe my next system
