Well, I DID order a new pump, A little giant or somesuch that promises more flow, but honestly if I'm getting 100 GPH out of this setup right now, I'd be surprised. I really don't understand the whole thing. At lunch today, though, I'm going to just stick the pump itself in a full 5g bucket and...

Well, I pretty much modeled this system on THIS system...which you would think would have been good enough.
