Agree that pine sucks, totally good for rough work or objects that don't require perfection, like random furniture and such, but hardwood would have been much closer to spec. I hate buying wood right now, so darn expensive. I literally live in dense Idaho forests, where there are more logging trucks on the road than regular cars, there's a mill in every town and sometimes two, but I can't buy any project wood for decent prices. Grrrr. Makes me a Grinch.The before and after photos of my algae-scrub session are nuts... It was no short order but after neglecting my family for longer then I should have I feel accomplished.
My Phyto had all gotten contaminated so I sterilized everything and restarted a batch.
Dealt with my reactors too... changed the carbon, removed a ton of the GFO and restarted... Flushed it into a bucket before connecting it to the sump even...
I'll be turning it off in a bit when I dose ChemiClean tonight.
The filter sock holder hooked me up...
I wish I spent the extra few bucks on better wood for the stand... this pine wasn't very accurate dimensionally so I have a big filling & sanding step...
Started seeing my DI resin being used now so at least the issue with TDS != 0 is solved.
