I'm all set up with gravel and everything but I have an inconsistent bell siphon.  It will work usually three or 4 times in a row but then it will just reach an equilibrium low in the grow bed.  I have already massively diverted the water coming from the pump.  Its to the point that it takes about 24 mins to fill the grow bed and 3 to empty it.  I'm already not going to be pushing through a whole lot of water. grow bed is about a hundred gallons total and my fish tank is something like 150.  Has anyone dealt with anything like this before.  I have only read about peoples siphons working or not working.  Not working 75-80 percent of the time.

This is why some people hate siphons. 

Daniel, there are two very good videos on youtube dealing with bell siphon trouble shooting. You may want to check them out, they helped me out.

Hey Don...you did actually get your bell siphons to work though correct?
