Re: just playing around

update! and pics!!

messing up in reverse againI had a brain flash today, put some mesh in the domes hollow, found some very nice material like enka mat, it was attached to a stucco roller but soon came off, with my superb tailoring skills I sewed it to the dome with light weight nylon fishline, after converting both pumps, reinstalling and starting the "pig" up, well my troubles began, lol, soooo much foam I had to shut it down and replumb the outflow pipe, tried again just not enough room for the foam, at present Im running 1 pump, when hardware store opens tomorrow Ill have to cook up another plan for lowering the water level, with both pumps choked back it just sprays greenish foam out,extreme wet skimming just not right. so moral of the story, I seriusly need to leave stuff in the store yikes.

Re: just playing around

Well after 2 days of frustration and topping of my hardware stores retirement fund a solution has come to be, running both pumps unrestricted required innovation,guesswork and coffee, lots and lots of coffee, had to bump up to a 4''od riser and just for RedmanBoozie a special edition ferrari red air horn lol, here are the proof of the pudding pics, this is installed and fired up and picture taken, Ill post again in a couple of days and see how filthy it gets
