Is your plumbing issue due to something in the wall that can be modified to get around this problem ?

yeah, it was my fault because the tank was last minute decision and I did not have time to think thoroughly where things go. so now the only access for me to run the pipe from fish tank to sum is through a back of a bathtub which has limited space. And the bath tub is right against the frame and concrete wall can't think of any way to get around the problem :-(

Wrong priorities You already smell funny from ruttin' about in a fish tank, might as well quite the baths too.

Maybe i don't get the joke of what you are saying but I don't think it is funny or is appropriate answer to my question of this thread. Please take your joke some where else if you don't have any better thing to say

Hey sorry, I was just joking that a reefer doesn't need a bath tub, only a tank. Wasn't meaning any offense.

As I said in my first post, you can do what you're planning to do as long as there are no abrupt up and down in the piping that would cause air pockets (that break the siphon) or stagnant water.

oh no problem :-) i had bad day yesterday and probably misunderstood your joke.
