Like I think we tried to make clear, we are not trying to pick on people.

Sometimes, ya just have to find out for yourself, certainly. However, how much time, and hassle it would save, if the voice of experience carried more weight than popular opinion. Even if the voice of experience does not carry the weight, the knowledge of physics should. Physics is not a bunch of theories, rather LAWS of Physics. You can't beat them, no matter how hard you try. I am sorry you had to find out the hard way. But your dedication is admirable.
Good luck with your C2C, and please use a siphon system in conjunction with it. BeanAnimal's design, is very very very hard to beat--at any flow rate.
