Does it work well ? How is water pumped through it ?

 

[Joe_Shafe]

I haven't actually used it in an established tank yet. I set it up in a bucket of water and it pulls the water like its supposed to so I assume it will work. But it runs by air tubing running into the side at the bottom and then anair pump on the other side. Then the air being pushed up in the PVC pipe pulls the water through the inside of the pipe. It passes through the sponge first, then the ceramic rings, then back out the top. If that makes sense lol.

Looks good. Get a video of it working if you can

Will do im setting up a new tank with it in it tomorrow so hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a video of it running.
