    Re: Daisy Chain the siphon outlets?

    You could get them to drain in a certain order at first but they'll all drift out of sequence. It's best to go with a gutter type design.

    Nothin to it but to do it yourself

    Re: Daisy Chain the siphon outlets?

    I would think that you could tie all three beds together with a header that was in this case 3 times larger than the drains. Then use the same idea of an external siphon on the side. All three beds will fill at the same time due to the common drain and then when it reaches the right height, in theory it should drain everything as though it were one tank.
