I can see why you'd think that. Now that I look at it, it looks that way to me too Actually that's the back of the timer the timer dial is on the flip side. My pump is a Harbour Freight 264 GPH which seems to work just fine. I have another one (bigger) for a vertical NFS unit that I'm building. I'm half done with that one so I will post pics soon.

I didn't think I would have any trouble with maintenance. The plants are in plastic cups inside the bottles and I think I can just take them out, cups, plants and all, and set them aside while I do the maintenance.
