how are you pressurizing the Trap?

It appears he is running a Y adapter splitting the water flow between the peanut butter container and the pressure tubes. Not trying to put anyone down but judging from the tubing and the color of the water, I would worry about the pressure tubes in the trap getting plugged up sediment. A solution would be to run two tubs running a 2" PVC pipe between. Place a 90 degree elbow in the tub on the discharge end of the sluice box turned down. The water would drain to the tub on the feeder end of the sluice box. Run the pump from the tub on the feed end of the sluice box. This will allow extra space for settling of sediments and provide cleaner water. I have run teh same set as here with the same pump, major plug ups. I now run a two tub system, no plug ups.

Hello QNCrazy
Pretty much right about how water is sent to the trap tubes. I get by without two tubs by suspending the pump halfway between the surface and the bottom of the tub. That way, sludge will settle at the bottom, and debris will float near the top. The pump is hanging in a mesh screen waste paper basket like pictured here. Amazon.com : Waste Bin, Rectangular, Steel Mesh, 8x12 X 12", Black : Office Waste Bins : Office Products. So far, no plugups of the tubes.
