i am setting up a 350gal or so tank, roughly 84Lx36Wx30H. there will be a sump underneath the tank, with a refugium etc and two ATO tanks. one ATO tank will be fresh water (for top-off) and one will be salt water (i plan to do a few gallons a day of salt water per day water exchange). this will be managed by a AutoAqua Smart AWC Duo device. so far, so good.
the issue is that the bins (with the water and salt water) driving this will be in the garage 60ft away. there is a crawlspace between the dining (er, tank) room and the garage. so my thought is to run a 2-3in tube from the garage to the tank room. the tube will contain 3 1in pipes (fresh water garage->tank, salt water garage->tank, waste water tank->garage) and one or two 20A electric lines (from a subpanel in the garage; avoiding a lack of useful outlets in the tank room). the plan would be use ATOs to top off the ATO tanks in the samp.
any comments? (ignore the issue of the electric circuits being inside the main pipe.)
