I'll followup with this.
Mine is still a messy draw on paper
I modify a model I found on the internet. It was for fresh water, so need to draw some more mess to make it SW compatible

I've been wanting to do a continuous water change for a while with a 2 head peristaltic pump.
Old water out, new water in, 24/7.

I have thought about this idea for a couple years, but found it too complicated with too many things that could go wrong. I am satisfied with just making waterchanges as simple as possible by using hoses and pumps instead of packing buckets and stuff like that around.
