This is my diy BK and the bubbles a lot smaller than my ETSS 800, it runs more stable than the ETSS regardless of the sump water level. Besides ETSS requires a pressure pump to run it effectively, yours is ETSS 1000 probably needs at least an Iwaki md 70 or 100 to run it, that would take a lot of juice.

You are right. My ETSS-1000 uses an Iwaki MD70 pump which is around 300 watts. How much did this project cost you minus the pump? Ill probably sell my ETSS once I complete my skimmer project.
