OK, I have it in my sump and running....Here are my observations after it running for about an hour:

1. I have micro bubbles in my tank, I think i need to put something underneath the outflow of to catch the bubbles. I am 99% sure this is a sump design issue. I am open for suggestions for bubble catcher

2. The water level in the main column is where the top angles up approx 1.5" above teh D&D sticker. there is approx 1/8 of white foam above that.

3. Right now in the smaller tube..the water is overflowing the inside tube and falling about 2.5" down to the next level of water (between the inside tube and the outside tube. Is this where it needs to be?

Its tight in my sump, adjustments will be fun.....

Thats about all i have at the moment.
