This sounds great, Dan!! What is a "23 gal muck bucket"? Is that one of those tubs with rope handles that horse people use?
What sort of aquarium pump are you using? I don't get to the fish store very often but 1/2inch hose! Wow! What make, model, horsepower, cost is the one you are using? Better tell me what you mean by 'diffusion with pump 'squirter' Is the 'squirter' just 'raw' air going into the compost bag? How do you 'de-slime' this setup? Except for wanting to do this in a conical tank with a bottom outlet, I really like your 'can do' approach! -Allan >Air diffusion with pump "squirter" approach. > >23 gal muck bucket to brew 15 gal tea >12" plastic colander >Tie two glass or ceramic airstones to inside bottom of colander and >connect to dual outlet airpump >Attach aquarium power head to side of bucket and connect ~2 ft of >1/2" hose to power head outlet >Put 4-5 lbs compost in nylon paint strainer & put open end of 1/2" >hose into compost in strainer.
