Going, but it is KP's birthday, so if I don't, I have a good excuse...

Looks like I am going. Anybody else? I know I could use a Calcium Reactor...

Can you post that powerpoint somewhere? Specifically, I'm looking for that pump that was used to move the water through the CalRX, the one that I asked about the "air hole" on. And how do you adapt output to smaller tubing?

I was able to find some things in my supplies to rig this up. And thanks to your talk, I conquered my fear and hooked up my calcium reactor!

Eric, is the Venturi on the pump. It looks like your method omitted its use. If so there is a strong likelihood that the pump will have premature failure.
