    tested it and it works fine. it stops when the water level drops and picks back up when it goes up.

      Truth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble.

          from the vent. once its started it will stop by its self and continue as the water rises.

          here is a better explanation http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...d.php?t=219465

              Make sure you have a screen at the end of your intake.

              I used to use straight piping quite often back in the day.

                Could that screen also be considered a strainer perhaps? ....

                    I just use some mesh and put a rubberband. The mesh that comes with grapes, or fruits in the super market. Just cut off a piece and rubberband it. Easily interchangeable
