Bob,
Is your D box aeration set up yet?
@@ No, they are sitting on my desk awaiting installation. I'm still watching my tank daily and all is well. I'll get the required hoses from the hardware the next time I get there to fit the air stones to my air pump. I also need special sized barbs to match one hose size to another and adaptors to go from one hose into 3 airstones. This part is a pain in the butt.

- I assume even with those inexpensive fish tank aerators for the D box I still need to have an electric pump. Can I run the hose through the D box riser as oppose to through the septic cover and down the outflow pipe?
@@ Yes, that would definitely be easier. I wish I had a D-Box riser.

- Would you provide info or links to the aerator and the pump? My D Box is about 200' from the house. Does this pump run 24/7?
@@My air pump is the one supplied by SepticAirAid, however I think that is overkill for the small amount of water in your D-Box. I think any QUALITY aquarium pump would work out well. This will save money on power consumption & cost of the pump. My pump is over $300 definitely overkill for the D-Box.

- When I set it up should I initiate the start up with Young's tank tablets?
No. Those things are worthless waste of money. Human waste has all the microbes you need.

Hope this helps,
Grizz
