Trying to see if this is possible. my set up is a freshwater 400gal tank under a 260gal tank both are connected with a large 300lb ultima pool filter type in between them to get the water back to the top tank. each has a sump tank above them. bottom tank has a 100gal and top a 50gal each are powered by their own pump.
what I am wanting to do is automate as much as possible as I travel for work for a couple weeks at a time and would like to monitor tank remotely. I am in need of a parts list and suggestions.
first off will be auto water changes. water coming in to the tank will be controlled by a solenoid. water leaving the tank needs to be powered by a pump. wanting to do large water changes so should I use 2 pmups on the bottom tank or can I use a different pump? I understand pmups have bad reviews so I am hesitant. I also have read that it would need to be controlled by either floats and or sensors. as far as overflowing the tank I have it drilled with an overflow but would prefer it stop before it happens.
I would also like to put the flow monitors on the return pump (reeflo hammerhead) and 2 pumps that go to the sumps.
so would like to hear suggestions on how to do this and also a parts list if anyone could help.
