Ok, I have the system set up with two 300 gal totes and a 55 gal drum as the biofilter. I have two problems.
The pump is pumping faster through 1 1/4" pipe than the water can gravity through 2" pipe. I can slow the pumps flow by closing a valve a little that feeds the water to it. But that seems like it would waste a bunch of electricity. Does anyone know if a reostat sp? would work with a 1 phase motor? Or does anyone have any other ideas?
The other problem I have is I forgot to put a screen in the bottom of the totes so small fish would be sucked into the pump, not good.
Other than that eveything seems to be working. It is hard for me to believe that the fish need that amount of water flow.
