More problems ...
Added about 50 total 3-4" BG and RES to the first tote and 200 FH to the second tote. I had put a screen and some foam in the outlet pipe of the second tote but some FH managed to become chum anyway by going through the pump. Then I think a BG or RES got caught in the transfer pipe that gravities water from tote 1 to tote 2. This was enough back pressure to overflow tote 1. Other than that and the fact that I don't trust the system to leave the pump on unattended overnight every thing is great.
Does the bacteria that you add to the biofilter (gravel)reproduce very quickly? I added 16 oz yesterday but lost some water today so I know I lost some bacteria. We also planted some more fish in the pond, I'll post about that after I get done w/ dinner.
