Allows for a lot of fine adjustment. Hope it still works after I wire it up. :mrgreen:
Going to play later with height cut out switches. If theres enough GB's it could take out the need for a timer and you can have different size gb's in the same setup.


Fish are fine this morning, all wanting food as if nothing had happened. :evil:

Okay just running through how the new timer is going to be hooked up.

First idea was middle switch sends power to timer and then back to the 2 power points. Lets you run 2 pumps on the same timer.

Second idea was to have power go from the switch to the first power point. That then via a cord goes to the timer then back to the second power point. Idea behind that is you can have a normal timer in the first power point that can turn the system off of a night. But you can also just have a timer before the pump.


Duff do you have a part number for that timer?

As I've been doing a re-shuffle My small swirl filter has been turned off its 24/7. The large one is now on 24\7 and also runs one GB as constant flow. It also overflows through the ABF tank so George will be happy. When stopping the flow I noticed the raised gravel pipe under the inlet had a high concentration of worms and more worm eggs than I've seen in one place. It does seem to become a breeding ground and filter chamber for mineralizing solids. I'll have to incorporate it into the larger swirl filter. Maybe a half drum of gravel this time.

Heh, at least acid works straight away, carbonate takes a week or so to settle.

PH 6.9 ish. The plants really like it now. :shock: Suckers are growing like mad. Wonder how long till the PH starts to rise. Not sure what was keeping it up high. Maybe the river rock\gravel.
