so, i set up an aquarium aeration system today. i used a .5 micron SS aeration stone, a sanitary filter and an aquarium pump from petco (rated 29 gph and 1.45 psi). the pump had 1/8 id hose, and the stone and filter used 1/4, so i picked up a 1/8 barb x 1/8 MIP fitting and a 1/8 FIP X 1/4 barb fitting to adapt the hose sizes.
sanitized the stone in boiling water for 15 minutes, as the instructions said, sanitized all of the hose past the filter in starsan, hooked it all up, and no visible bubbles. i can hear the pump, and if i pull the 1/8 hose i can feel air coming out, but i see no bubbles.
any guesses?
