Refilling your tank(s)

I don't know what most folks do, but I quickly grew tired of heaving
buckets of water up on top of my desk to refill my 15-gallon tank--and I
haven't even started on my 40-gallon one yet! In addition, I mention
this because I thought it could be of use to some, though I am not in a
wheelchair, I am disabled, certainly "balance challenged" would be an
operative phrase. So I could pretty much guarantee the occurrence of at
least one major episode of major spillage.

So I got a power head, connected 8 feet of vinyl hose to it, and now I
wheel my home-made dolly-board with readied water out to the tank, pump
in the bottom of the bucket, and plug 'er in. I got a Maxi-Jet 900, I
think ($16?) and it pumps the 3 feet or so at a nice speed, not to fast,
not too slow. Tomorrow, I'll go get a box and a flip switch and drill it
into the dolly-board so I can turn the pump on an off instantly, rather
than having to yank an electric cord out of a socket (especially in the
close company of water). Not a big deal, but for me, it makes life a
whole lot easier and safer.
