Well I've had it going all day now. It seems to be working just fine. I have no sloshing sounds from the filter and no filter burp. For what I'm injecting into the system it seems to be all absorbed into the water.

Absolutely zero leaks. I have not had one bubble come through the filter.
I do have a drop checker. It has been working well. Im able to turn the co2
way up and im not getting the slosh slosh sound from the co2 being mashed up
from the filter impeller.

Nice ... Simple and looks like it should be effective.

I've had the whole thing going now for a little over a week. I've been able to maintain 35ppm. Today they where ripping apart an old piece of fermentation equipment at work. I got a sylanoid and 24v DC power supply for free.
