Here's a video of my setup with the new panels and new air pump; running 2 stones in the tank and 1 large 12" stone in the sump.
I noticed a huge spike in how often my heaters came on since I added the air pump. It's been cold at night and running the air stones (pumping air that's in the upper 50s) through the water really cools the tank down. So now I'm running the pump on a timer so that it only comes on during the warmest parts of the day (from around 1:00PM to 5:00PM).
Jake makes a cameo; he's an 80lbs Brown Lab/Vizsla mix. He looks mellow in the video, but he's crazy.
