    This is pretty much what I do. Be sure and check out the automated water change calculator I put together in the calculators section of this web site.

    I have a local member of INDMAS that I helped set up his 1k tank and he uses 2 diaphragm dosing pumps. One pulls water in and the other takes water out. He runs out of a 150g holding tank and runs the water exchange for 3 weeks averaging I think 30g to 40g per week then the 4th week he uses that time to fill the tank back up and get salt mixed. Pretty cool set up.
