I had to make an huge change to my tumbler, and get a DC motor instead of the washing machine motor who was way to fast for this purpose. Now my tank turn 50rpm +/-. Install a back stop too, to prevent the tank from going one way...

Thanks, Diverdon. yes, the speed is now OK.
The washing machine motor , i reduce the speed from 1200 rpm to 600 rpm, but it was realy too fast. Now i have to buy some gravel, and finish the job...
