    You can coat them in epoxy, twice, instead if you like.

    Hey Sm I have a tube of JB water weld I was thinking I would press a thin layer on the plastic case then add the crushed coral.
    next question is there a difference running a upflow vertical or horizontal the bubbles would still be going up the CC

    The JB should be fine. And the angle should not matter much.

    yeah I tested a small amount of Jb weld then added the CC I think it gonna work great!!
    Ok now on to the bubbles. if i remember right the best way to do it is cut along the air tubing ( in the middle ) then every so often maybe an .5" make a slit across the tubbing.
    sound about right?

    Yes, or you can make crosscuts too, to allow you to open the segments and clean inside.

    Aqualifter is way to little. I always recommend the Fusion 700 or the Tetra Whisper AP300

    Has anyone used the Danner Aqua Supreme AP-8 Aquarium Air Pump, 7-watt?
    was thinking it might be a good idea as it controllable and has 4 outlets.
    I want to try my hand at a pod growing station for a mandarin =1 outlet
    the ATS =1 outlet
    possable 2nd ATS
    not sure id I should get one with more outlets? new to air pumps... but if i use all 4 will it decrease the air flow per outlet?
    anyone know?

    You can combine the outlets and they should add up to the total of the separate ones. Put 2 outlets on the scrubber.
