It's alive... ALIVE!!!!
Well it seems to have taken me a full six months and then some (my 75g was originally filled end of December last), but I finally have my sump circulating. Whoo-hoo!! I turned the valve on this morning after circulating the water through the sump only yesterday, and watching the pump run.
Man that pump is warm. I'm going to rig a fan for it for the long-term.
But, ahhh, water movement. It's all starting to come together now.
Ironically, I STILL have microbubbles. But at least it's at a level I think I can live with, for now. Not the "constant rain of microbubbles" that I had in previous attempts.
Next stop ... well it's still my little secret for now, but I hope to have my next little experiment into production this week. If it works out, I'll be posting some pics in the DIY section!
