Description: Today we're taking a look at a more risky approach with building a mineralization tank. I'm replacing the air lift pump with a standard centripetal (impeller) pump. The risk is that the pump impeller could get clogged with stones or other larger debris, however the benefit is a substantial power savings over the air lift. I'm also trying a few Infusinators to increase the dissolved oxygen level.
