Here is just a illustration of my one of my tank setup.
It uses one pump and then air pump with backup battery system. So far it doesnt use much power.

That's cool bro. With energy prices rising, Nice idea to economize. I guess since water is circulating on those three tanks, you will only need one heater am I right? If that's the case, that's really cooool!

Im wondering about the heater question myself since thats what sucks up most of the energy here im thinking of building something like this i already got the pump but want to do a big filter that sites on top and connect a fluval to that seyup for added filtration --------------------   |
