Solitude....a new build from the chipmunk

[deranged chipmunk]

There is a length of aquarium airline running into a piece of sponge inside the drainage layer. I have a valve on the end outside of the tank so I only had to siphon once. When I need to drain water, I open the valve. When I drained off enough, I close it and the siphon is ready for the next draining.

I would have preferred to drill the tank for automatic drainage, but I did not want to ruin the tank in case I ever want it to be an aquarium again.

Do you have instructions anywhere about how you made that and what parts to use

I did a post about it a long time ago.

I believe it was called how to siphon once or something to that effect.

is your drosera filiformis the one that doent need dormancy? this tank is beautiful, a real masterpiece.

[deranged chipmunk]

Most drosera species are tropical, therefore do not require a dormancy. Venus fly traps and sarracenia pitchers (some species) do. The easier way to tell is to find out what their climate zone is. If it is 6 or lower, it most likely requires a dormancy.

And thank you!! I am rather proud of this tank.
