I'm using an airstone bubbler placed at the mouth of the penn plax riser covered with 1/2" fluval stratum, 1/2" kitty litter, 1/4" seachem flourite, then 3" of fluval stratum, 1/2" coarse gravel to keep the plants from dislodging. My best guess is that the air pump is lifting around 5-10 gal/hr based on specs and positioning. The new 20 gallon tall tank took around 3 weeks to cycle. Nitrates dropped down from 35ppm to 0ppm a week later. My friends are still surprised that I only needed to top off the tank with DI water. Now I have to figure out what to do with the 20lbs of leftover kitty litter. Thank you for such an economical and maintenance free method of tank keeping.
