I'm still tweaking it - i want to have it working really nicely before i post pics. After running it for a couple of weeks it would seem that it really needs a bigger pump to push a bit more air into the reaction chamber- at the moment its not bad but its having trouble pushing the foam up the riser and into the collection cup.
currently i'm using a rio 800 but i think i could use something like a 1400 its just a little hard if you dont have one lying around - I dont want to buy one and find out that its either too big or not big enough after a have drilled the venturi holes in it. I have a 2100 but i think that might be over kill.
I have been building a stand and light hood for two other tanks so i havent really had the time to do much on it in the last couple of weeks.
I'll update soon
