| Sounds like the new idea will work. Let me know what you end up doing. I may be interested in doing something different. Also, periodically check and make sure no bubbles are building up in there. Sometimes a piece of debris will clog the nipple where the aqualifter attaches.

If you get excessive bubbles in the overflow it will either stop/slow down the flow. The pump keeps on "keepin' on". And how about some pictures we can actually see? |
