The most important thing I have learned is patience and understanding. Being patient and buying the right equipment and livestock. Understanding a fish or coral before purchasing it is key to helping it florish. Understanding how the system works and the impacts changes will have. I have made alot of mistakes. One of the best places for info is a forums like this.
For EVAP this is what I did. I went out and bought 3 5 gallon H20 cans, the kind you take your H2O home with. They have a 3/4" MIP fitting on the cap. I reduced this down to 1/2" and from there put a 1/2" to a push fitting for 1/4" H20 line. After I had the push fitting in I fitted a small 1/2" piece of 1/4" H2O line and put a push fitting stopcock on that. This can sits 8' above the ground in a garage cabinet. figuring roughly .434 pounds of head per foot gives me about 3 PSI of pressure at the outlet. From there I ran 20' of 1/4" H2O line down the wall, and under the drywall lip in the garage. I put a hole in the wall, and ran the H2O line from the garage into the sump. I connected it at the sump via 1/2" PVC and another push fitting. In the middle of the PVC riser, I put a 1/2" T to a 1/2" MIP fitting. I purchased a mini float valve from www.usplastics.com, and set my sump level where I wanted it @ 9" from floor of sump to water line. The float valve is adjustable, and it automatically tops off the tank. I just change the H2O can every 7 days and FA GET ABOUT IT ! I also will be adding Kalk to the H2O eventually when my calcium starts to fall. This may not work for you but the ideas I had may "SPAWN" (ha I kill myself) something for you.
