    PSA for today:

    When you decide to pressure test your new manifold for your new build, triple check that all the valves are closed.  Even when you KNOW they are closed.  And have plenty of towels nearby.

    lara has fed my "equipment" addiction... so now i have a new reactor... was debating biopellets.   anyone start using these instead of carbon dosing w/ everclear/vodka?  the everclear dosing is doing ok for me, but seeking opinions/findings from others :) 

    After much reading, I'm staying w/ my everclear dosing w/ medical PCA pump.   The only "problem" the biopellets "solve" vs liquid carbon dosing are the sudden "spurts" or carbon in the water column, causing water quality issues.  I don't have these issues, as I'm dosing small amounts all day long, not once a day.  

    I currently dose .3ml/hr of 10% everclear... so .03ml/hr.  vs 0.72ml once a day.

    I guess i have a standby reactor if i need gfo/carbon real quick in addition to my existing gfo/carbon.

    Thanks Kim! You know me and my build threads! I'll try to make the next one a good one! emoji6.png

    If the new house has lots of windows, we can consider that an aquarium, and we expect a build thread for it.

    if you are just passing the plumbing and wiring through... you only really need 4 holes w/ a holesaw :)  if you are going for an in-wall look... its not just destruction, you have to slap in a header in and everything.. would look awesome though!  you have enough engineer-types here to help :)
