Yeah, I had a smaller pump (now using it on my skimmer) and although I still had a problem with the bubbles collecting in the siphon it wasn't nothing like this. I have to vac the air out of that siphon once a day.

I refilled my tank with ten gallons (good thing I was due a water change) to replace that which the tank placed upon the floor. I don't know what I would have done if my floor was carpeted. I have two rugs that soaked up quite a bit, hung them outside and rinsed them with tap. Waiting to see how that comes out.

Thanks for the help.
