I've got a kit from Danger Den. It's their Maze3 block, Black Ice Extreme radiator, Eheim 1250 pump, and their cylindrical clear acrylic resivoir. The res is a few inches in diameter, about 4-5 inches tall. I've got it setup right before the pump intake
like so:
This setup "uses" water. I've got the res almost as the highest point in the system, I can't go higher because of where this is places. With the fill tube,
I can make that water level the higest in the system. When I do so, the system
will eventuall bleed all or nearly all of the air and the res will be clear. In about a day, the water in the fill tube will drop several inches. Eventually it will drop down to the level of the res, and some air gets sucked into the pump intake side. It's been doing this consistently for a couple of weeks. I tried pluging the fill tube, but I hade to hack a plug by taping of one end of an elbow and using that. It didn't seem to slow down the water decrease.
Finally, it's REALLY dry where I live (Santa Fe, NM). Could this just be evaporation? I checked everywhere for leaks, but I'm afraid I've got a slow leak that's eveaporating before I can see it and it'll get worse one day.
Help?!?
