Thanks guys. I wish I had more time to work on setting stuff up. I basically get to work on the greenhouse on the weekends, but I think about it constantly. When more stuff is installed, I'll be sure to post updated pics.
In the mean time, here is one more picture. You can see the linear piston air pump that was suggested earlier. It is the largest model that is made currently by Sweetwater (Aquatic Ecosystems). I was hoping that it would be able to run all the air lifts in the greenhouse, but it doesn't have anywhere near the output to do that. Still, it can adequately power two of the 300-gallon tanks for a mere 130W of electricity. Even though I will have to buy two more to run the entire greenhouse, the electrical savings will essentially pay for them in 12 months or so.
