Do you run an o/night battery backup and what is the bilge pump spec ?

No I don't run a battery sun comes up pump comes on pump can do up to 50L min when there is full sun as the voltage increases it's a Johnson bilge pump the little white one 2.5 amp draw

First test was done
Ph 6.6
Ammonia .25ppm

Nitrate 0

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!!!

I'm thinking silvers and will be running an air pump over night

Ahhh cool cool, I would imagine that will be fine then :-)
