First, sorry if this isn’t the correct subreddit for this
I’m trying to help a friend of mine with moving water between tanks, we have the filtration tanks in order but I’m kinda lost trying to find an overflow solution that doesn’t involve pumps. We could simply place a pipe at the top water level and leave it at that, but we also want to remove water from the bottom to slowly remove decanted solids
Problem is, we are at planing phase and I can’t seem to wrap my head around how to do this
Our ideas basically are to extend the external siphon pipe all the way to the bottom and run a small hose to catch air once the water level gets to a certain level, would that work? Would the sudden pull from the siphon drag water with enough pressure to move small solids from the bottom? Or it will be more like a gentle flow?
P.S.: pic from the internet, not exactly what we are trying to do, but it does illustrate what I’m trying to explain here submitted by /u/nicosbank
