So the bowl is a flotation device?

the bowl is to keep water out and water in. i only want it to take water from the bottom of the tank not the surface.

OK, well it is obvious to me I'm not going to understand it right off the bat.
For you to state you'll take pictures in the morn in the tank is just cruel.
Don't you realize AP is an addiction!
LOL, looking forward to your testing.

I can't say I've ever seen them before. So I assume they are rated for continuous use (24/7)

Wot is the flow? I did a quick google and see that one of the main online pond shops here in Aus have something similar. Pretty expensive though for the flow rate (heaps more expensive that the one you linked to) and they do have aome oil (not that that is necessarilly an issue).

Here is the link http://www.pond-equipment.creativefount ... 1/CP-1.htm
