I went over board and set up a LARGE DRUM (more than 100 liters and less than 600 liters)( I don't know the exact amount.. I will update later..
I dropped 3 small sacks of compost and a pinch of cane sugar and I am aerating it with a aqarium air pump with two air stones but base on what I have read online I should see froth on the top in a few hours
(or should I?) but I am not seeing any froth, does this mean my compost tea is not working??

Did you use non-chlorinated water?
If the volume of water seems more than typical, it might just be taking the microbes longer to populate the tea. I would think no need to worry unless you don't see any growth activity within 8-12 hours.
How much compost exactly did you use, and what kind of compost? Where did you get it?
