It’s been almost a year since I lasted posted on here. Now I’m back with a little video update below. I bought a new air pump because my last one back siphoned due to the fact I didn’t have it elevated higher than my reservoir…oops! The new one has four air outlets, so I’m thinking of setting up a horizontal system on the other side of my window sill.
I’m open to any advice or comments! Here’s the video update link…

Nice. I love the fact its solar. Do you find the trickle charge from the panel enough to keep it going?
Yep it’s enough. I just can’t leave the battery on constantly because it will drain out faster than it takes in depending on the suns efficiency. I do contract work for this company and I got the gear as a bonus.
Ultimately, I’m not connected to the grid.
