What do you use for distance water change?

If I want to pump saltwater from my brute in my garage to the tank 25 feet away what kind of hose or tube can I use that would connect to the pump inside the brute?

Anything you can pick up at your local hardware store would be appropriate.

I suggest putting a valve at the end so you can turn the flow on and off at the tank end of the hose/tubing.

You can also use a 12V RV water pump with a valve inside the house. that way it will stop pumping when the valve is shut off.

I use the 25 foot python with a nifty I pump found on BRS. The pump (Sicce Utility Pump) connects straight to the python. Works well for me.

You can then put the Python Hook with the on/off valve on the end and hook it over the rim of your tank. That way you don't have to run to the garage to turn it off. I use a 50 foot python with the Hook connected to my mixing station in the garage.

How about setting up automatic water changes and use a Neptune DOS? Bit of a financial outset if you don’t already own an apex however.
