    Joe with that bullet and age of system I'd slow it up and skim as dry as possible . Cut the skimmer supply back and lower the air injector to make more tiny and finer bubbles . Sand is about 100% Dry looking for this coming Monday shipping .

    It is the seed tank that's running Tea green, and not from the bullet-3, but a much smaller skimmer with a needle wheel pump... the new system is still dry... :-(

    You can see the little guy on the bottom left of this pic:

    PM me with the cost on the sand so I can get you paid.
