Thanks for the kinds words Bruce. Keep in mind there is more than one way to skin a cat and there are other ways to get the job done. I was told by one old pro that what I'm doing is obsolete. According to another the following has 6000 square feet of surface area for one foot of media and has a smaller footprint.

And then there's AP's system which seems interesting too.

BTW I may have spoken to soon on getting the siphon right. For some reason the pump is staying ahead of the siphon. Over time the clarifier is getting lower than the stock tank until it eventually leaves the pump high and dry. It's either the check value is reducing the diameter of the gravity flow or the pipe lengths need to be adjusted.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
