My inexpensive drip system

K rallys... My question is now it's been up for a while.. How much did your water bill raise???? 
Actually, I think it's less. (hard to tell because I have set up so many more tanks) I'm only dripping 24 gpd which is less than what I was doing in water changes. Once you get the levels low you can use the drip system to maintain them rather than try decrease them. It keeps it very stable. Every time I've checked nitrates have been around 15ppm.
I think i may do this for my 300 gallon tank But my only problem is my tank is in the living room and is about 20 feet from my garage that has a little closet id like to set this all up in.
The thing i am wondering is if the water that drains out of the tank has to be done at an angle so that it drains with gravity. Can i just run it up threw the ceiling or should i run it underneath my house and make a small decline so it just drains by itself into my garage which is about 2-3 feet lower than the rest of my house.
