    Are you using airline tubing to pump the water from the ato? I use a 1/2" id tube with a cheap harbor freight pump for my 180, and that only pumps for about 30 seconds at a time.

    Ok, so I extended the run time of the ato and I have success ! !
    I now have enough time to "top up" in a trickle effect all day long.

    Yahoo ! ! !
