  • dude, ur setup is sweet, and ur vids had me an my dad rollin w laughter. great job man. thanks for sharing.

    question: how many watts is your air pump. and what kind of a plug do u hav on the reservoir pipe n bottom?

  • Don't know the wattage of the air pump... 120v. however. The plug on the end of the reservoir is a common pvc pipe plug. I installed it anticipating that I would need access to the reservoir for cleaning. I've never taken it off. I would suggest doing without the plug and saving 30 dollars.

  • cool man, thx for the reply. how do u make electricity on that boat, mate? gas generator? a wind turbine would be sweet... i havent messed with them tho... yet:) also, does the bleeder activate automatically from air pressure, to let the water drain back down, or is it on a timer? thx again. take care.

  • We have an air-marine wind genny and solar panel. The bleeder is always open but not enough to effect the aeration of the plants. Just enough so the water will drain.
