John, Thanks for the recommondation....I did look at the SCWD and was wondering how it worked. I think the jury is still out on that one. I'd like to stay away from as much mechanical movement as possible since debris and salt will reduce performance and eventualy could break and leave you back at square one and out a few bucks.

Fat Walrus, I think you are right on keeping it simple. I have about a million great ideas in my head but want to keep things looking clean, accesable and simple so I think that's great advice. Is there any benefit or negative aspects for running some kind of reducer to create a tighter stream coming out of PVC? Like going 1" to 1/2"? I know you will create back pressure on teh pump that may not be.good. I thought I remembered hearing Rob and Bobby talking about something Bobby used to increas flow from a recent podcast...maybe I'll have to browse the shownotes.

I designed my stand in Google Sketchup which was pretty cool and was starting on teh plumbing, but I couldn't figure out how to do bends, etc. to mock up some plumbing. If I can figure out what I have in mind, I'll share some pics. I know in this hobby I can read 100 posts but sometimes just 1 picture makes it ALL click!

Thanks evryone.
