Actually, if you set things up in advance, you only need hose and a pump. I'm working out a great water storage/mixing station solution in my basement, directly below the fish tanks in a way that I can use a hose going from my DT plumbing to drain water down into the basement drain, then flip a switch and pump clean water back up from my mixing station with a sump-return pump (likely a genx spare I've got). It's going to take some work since the basement isn't finished, and I don't have an actual water faucet down there, but with some PVC and time, I can split off the main that runs along the ceiling. This is going to be my summer project....heh.
