Sorry I can't see your video from work, so apologies if it's covered on there, but what type of fish will you be running, and how many?
If you are only pumping water during the day you will be limited in your species and stocking amount, because algae (which you will invariably end up with a bit of at least) uses oxygen during the night, so nighttime is generally the most important time to have aeration.
Good luck with your system!!!
