If you are feeling ambitious, you could find someone to drill your tank
at the bottom. Asking at a good aquarium shop might help, since marine
aquarists sometimes use drilled tanks to set up separate wet/dry filters
in mini-reef tanks. Anway, use the powerhead on a timer to pump clean
water from a separate container into the Nepenthes pots. The excess
water would drain through the drilled bottom, down a pipe, and into a
separate waste container where it could be discarded. No problems with
stagnation or debris from the pots clogging your pump.
