Some constructive input:

It may work out on a Pico but I've never seen it done before. Has anyone? Links?

Never seen it done. Actually, I haven't seen many surge systems in constant use over any great period of time, let alone on a 6 gallon pico (what I'm building). That's part of the reason I'm building it, and to test my siphon system on a small scale before I build a large system.

Sort of overkill for a pico, but it will be fun, and a lot cheaper than the planned 30 gallon
