(first pic) I tapped off my laundry room washing machine cold water line and ran the line out to the garage. In the garage (second photo) I but a T in for future extension to the fish room (spare bedroom) and the other side of the T goes to my living room (last photo)

I have two supply gate valves, the one being used is for the 450 i just set up and I have a 360 going in next to this so this corner will hopefully be hidden by both tanks.

I just set the gate valve for about 1 gallon an hour, maybe a little less, and the extra water overflows to the yard. No more water changes!

I just need to build a canopy and a few nit-noid things and this project is finished!

Next is the 360. The supply and drain lines are all set up so it should go in fast, I just need to build a stand.

Cheers, it's beer time :headbang2

Hey, my buddy Mike is gonna call you about the stand for the 360. He talked to his friend and he's game to build it for ya, if you're still interested.

I gave Mike your number, hope thats ok.

and sweet setup. I need to do something like that for mine, but I have no idea how I'd get the water out of the house with the location the tank is in at the moment.
