Finally all of my parts and pieces arrived, I'm fortunate to be a welder/fabricator which comes in handy for part of this project. I read RC51's diy aerator system and ordered exactly the same stuff. I built my diffuser base a little different. I used a 4X8X 38"long piece of alum. extrusion for the base and built a manifold out of a stainless tube that was bent on each end, welded a couple of threaded 3/4 pipe ends, and a 1/2" nipple in the center with a 5/8" hose barb, welded an eye in the center, it balanced perfectly. I deployed it and ran it 15 mins. Boiled real nice and had A not so fragrant aroma coming from it, still need to build housing for it (eco 7 comm. pump) which I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it runs. Thanks RC! Charlie
