I have a 40 G tank on that sits on the floor, can I hook it up to a 30 feet tube and have it pump water into a drain?

Considering you have a 40gal tank, i wouldnt recommend this for you. Also, why drain it continuously? This pump is for a 70gal tank.

My Little Giant pump sits on the floor, discharges water straight up 7' and horizontal across the floor joists 10' before draining back down into my utility sink. Works great!

Yes you can put a little longer hose on it. I wouldn't go past the 30 ft mark on less you get a bigger pump.

You probably could. If you want to utilize the pump you will need to plug it in.

If you have only one air stone( no more than 12") and the pump is resting level with the top of the tank it should work fine. The longer the air hose and if its fighting gravity it may not put out enough air and damage the pump. I'm using the 60 gl pump for a 10 gl tank - 1 24" & 3 1" air stones.

Yes you can; providing the water tank (which is VERY heavy when full of water) is placed on something higher than the highest shelf. It's a gravity feed system- there are no "pumps".

Yes. The wand and nozzle is about a foot (or more) long and should be fine for your 30 gallon tank. My tank is only about a foot deep and there's plenty of wand that never gets wet when I clean my gravel.

No. There are different connection points for the pump and direct drain. The drain hose has to be attached to the direct drain connection point if you want to drain directly into a floor drain. The direct drain is a gravity drain.

My best recommendation is to use a stabilizer in the tank so you don't have to replace it. If you need to drain it you can use a small hand pump (not electric)

Yes it can. Most likely you will need additional 1/4" tubing for the run to the sink as well as the run to the drain line. I purchased a saddle valve to provide the water supply from a cold water pipe in the basement. I would recommend hanging the main filtration unit on the wall.

The answer is no ONLY if you do NOT install the pump outlet attachment. This attachment triggers a microswitch in the unit to turn on the pump when the predetermined level is reached. If not installed then it will gravity drain (if desired).

The 30" is based off of the total distance over and under combined as far as i understand it. The pump will pump more then this in my experience. However it will impact the flow rate and will likely burn out faster.

I don't know how you could. It's almost too big for 30 gal. trash bags--does better with 39 gal.

Yes, but a maximum distance from tank to faucet of 15 feet is required (additional tubing will be needed). The system will produce a faster flow at the faucet with the shortest tubing run from tank to faucet.

You will have to run cold water to the tank...you also need a dedicated 30 amp breaker to operate.

For tall tanks like yours, I would take the tube down to within three or four inches of the bottom if you can. This will give a better top to bottom turn over of the water. I agree that going to the bigger filter (#60) would be a good idea. It's hard to over filter a tank. If this will be the only system working, I would go to the #60 filter. If you are running an under gravel filter also, then the #40 will be fine.

I'm believe not. The manual says to use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP tanks (we also used a 15 lb. tank, too) with type 1 right-hand Acme threads. The hose hook-up that comes with the unit is small and I don't know if it would be the right size to hook up to something that big? I suggest calling their customer care phone number 1-877-338-0999 if you'd like to talk to the company about it. It never hurts to ask, and maybe they customize. Have a nice day.
