Reef Marine Aquarium Automatic Water Storage System (Part 1)

This video shows how i have plumbed a water storage system to allow for automated salt water changes to a reef aquarium. It will also allow me to do automatic ro di water changes to the aquarium and make water changes as easy as is possible.

What type of PVC pipe are you referring too when you speak of saltwater safe, can you explainthe type of PVC you used that is saltwater safe? Thanks

[shardinio]

@ReefDVMs I believe the pipe is made by spears and is schedule 40. It is not common here in the UK and has to be ordered from specialist suppliers. It has a much thicker inner wall than normal british pvc piping.
