Just wanted you to know I tried a modified version of your High Water Level Siphon Outlet. It's very quiet. I can't even tell when my bell siphon is running! Thank you again.

More than 2 months and your bell siphon is going strong with no hiccups. Thank you for putting all your effort into design and testing!

Thank you so much for your response. I was reading your website and watching your videos for hours last night. I feel I have a very firm understanding of what I have to do now.

Sorry i replie so late but i am realy buisy with my AP.Thanks to you i finished the piping i think so.Now i am by the stones,do you think lavastones are ok because clatpeples are very expensive in Japan.Also how about the aeration in the growbed,i think the smallest pvc pipe with a lot of small holes are ok?

I want to ask you again about the hole from the higher tank to the lower growbed,the growbed ist h30 cm l 1056 cm w 72 cm 180 l
In Mr, Murrays CD the hole in the Fishtank was very high almost over the water in your Design it was very low and in the water.
I have a 360 l acryltank 60x60 180 cm.I think about a 6 cm fiting for a 50PVC pipe but where ang is it big enough?

there is a new forum topic started around plumbing, basically asking for more info around plumbing a new AP system. Of course I think of you when it comes to plumbing. Can you jump in there and make some suggestions? Thanks!
