So there is a rule in my lease that says I can't keep an aquarium larger than 10 gallons... but how boring is that!? There is no limit, however, to the number of aquariums I can have. I'm wondering if you all have any ideas for how to set up multiple (2-4) tanks that share the same water. I'm thinking about some sort of a daisy-chain system.
This seems like it might make water changes a bit easier (than having multiple completely independent tanks), as well as make the setup a bit less sensitive to stuff like temperature swings, and things of that nature (I've always heard that to a certain extent, the larger the tank, the easier it is to maintain).
I am currently on a crustacean kick it seems (a crayfish and some ghost shrimp), but would like to also keep nice fish and/or plants in the other tanks to keep them from being eaten. Having varying water levels would be nice too in case I want to keep something like, say turtles, or something else that needs both land and water, or a low water level.
Do you think it is a silly idea to share water between the tanks? If not, how might you go about linking them together (preferably no glass cutting)?
