instead of drilling holes into the sides of the waterfarm to insert the tube for the airstone, Just stick the skinny tube that comes from the air unit and stick it down the blue water level inicator tube all the way down to the bottom and put the air stone on down, It works very good

This is great stuff! I just set up my waterfarm as it comes. I did get the circulation upgrade, but it is not as great as I thought. So more upgrades to come on it. I wish I'd have found some of this earlier, but either way I appreciate all the info and advise.

I actually bought the upgrade kit. I was not pleased with the air pump that came with it. It is really noisy and low power. So I use it for one of my airstones. I use a whisper 30-60. You could go bigger. I have though about it. I have a slight uneven floor. You would never notice, but it does make a small difference. So I say at least 30-60.

i have one that i bought that didnt come with the kit that im using, the eco air 1 plus...it seems to be about the same as the one youre talking about but my pumping column is just spitting out a little bit of water at a time...it might not be the pump it might be that i didnt set up the pumping column correctly...if anyone has any ideas on what im did wrong or if thats just how it opperates let me know plz.

Troubleshoot these things:
1. Loose connection where the small air tube connects to the drip ring column at the bottom "Y";
2. Clog from nutrient salt buildup where the small air tube connects ot the drip ring column at the bottom "Y";
3. Add more air pressure;
4. Nutrient salt buildup clogging the drip ring outlets.

it takes a little while to get the circulating kit from GH to start running water consistantly, it spits it out for a while then runs smooth. I know mine was working great when the controller had a lot of hydroton sediment in there the next day(usually found in the buckets)
