Ahh, see, I knew it would be simple! Seems like a superb idea!

Works on the 'Venturi' Principle.

Now you lot can be as anally retentive as me!

Dude!
Welcome to the club.

My main concern is the potential PH shift. My tap water is around 6.8-7 where as the tank is 6.6.

Wouldn't worry about it. This is why a min 50% H2O change is done on a Saturday and Sunday is the 'relax & enjoy' day - tank resets itself, allows things to balance out. Plants won't mind as they don't react to changes quickly at all.

Cool. I thought that would be the case. Just a bit worried as I am used to only changing 10-15%, 25% max so it is quite a jump up.

Might syphon the water out of the window, but I live on the top floor of an apartment building, people downstairs might not approve

What club!! I am so excited
