LOL guys, to funny. MY budy Phil up in Austin attended the close out of pet supply company, and gave me the two iwaki's.

That setup is not permenant, but I wanted to do a little toying around with plumbing and wanted to find out how noisy the pump was before I plumbed it into the new tank. So this is all more or less an experiment, it won't be a spare pump for long. I have two, one will be the return pump, one will be on an oceans motions 4 way as a closed loop.

Richard, Thanks for the heads up, I just went outside and put a longer length of PVC in to stir the water without aeration. I thought that was a good thing when mixing water. oops!
