Jason asked about the five gallon bubbler bucket that was featured in an ol=
d magazine article when CT was just starting....I think the machine is no l=
onger state of the art homemade.....

you are right, constructive.....I think the machine has too little oxygen. =
Use a much bigger pump. And, the air stones make too small bubbles. Switch=
 to 1/4 inch soaker hose which you should be able to get wherever they sell=
 drip irrigation. A two foot span coiled and duct taped to the bottom of th=
e bucket puts out bigger and more bubbles.

Cheers,
