Well you start by loading the gravel in a ute or trailor, go to the nearest fire hose and wash it down, best if the ute/trailor is on a slope favorable to your efforts.

i know i know, you all have been just dying for an up date of my wonderful system(this is me being full of fish poo)

well, i went and built a small small system.

5 gallon bucket(fish tank)
2 gallon bucket(growbed)
90 gph pump
air pump/stone
all the tubeing
and a 1/2in house bib


so i build it, cocked the bib, waited a day for it to dry.
hooked it all up, got the timeing for the autosysphon just right(its sooooo cool! it is almost 1 min to fill, and 30 sec to drain, fun to watch i might add)
and i ran it for 1 day :P , my 1st AP system!!!

so i woke up yesterday, checked the system, doing great. i went to work, and came home about 5pm, and it was dripping water from the autosysphon bib!! :shock: aut-oo!

took a 2nd look at it, looks like the seal poppet off from all of the water head pressure. SUCKY!! so now it is drying and waiting for me to come and put some more *butterflies* around it.

i will give up pics soon, it is a realy kool set up!

caulking needs to cure for a few days to really become waterproof. You might have to learn a bit of patience (sorry ;) )

J on the mark!
also u need to prep an area to be caulked(*butterflies*) remove any possible release agents, like barriers, soap, tooling oil(shop oil),dirt
contaminants, or the stuff will not stick.
bare in mind sillicon stays in place because of suction as it is too thick to get penetration. also the caulking skin will cure in moments but needs many hrs to get full cure!
IMHO!
