Like you said, finer bubbles and very consistent.

Here is a pic just after a good clean up and placed it back into the sump.




And here after about 4 hours.





22 watts, almost half what I had it before.

Sweet!! Looks pretty good to me! I gather you are happy with the results?

My guess is that you may be able to close the wedge pipe a tiny bit after a couple days or bump the watts up about 1 watt. It looks like it's making really nice foam so a tad closed on the wedge may be all it takes if it even needs it.
