Quick, someone ask me where I got it,,,:bigsmile:... yep, I built it myself. I have been secretly taking notes everytime I go to Ace's house,, he probably won't let me come over anymore

I think Ace will probably still let you come over. He will probably blindfold you before he allows you in though :) I guess you take the good with the bad.

So, how often do you need to fill it, once a decade?

WHAT??? you can put a pound of kalk in that thing at one time and that should last a few months - ie, my sps system gets a fresh pound of kalk every 5 months.

Yeah,, but i usually put just enough to keep the water good and saturated for a few weeks,, just in case something goes wrong:bigsmile:

Wow, that is awfully nice. Good job!

And I like the idea of using less for the just in case factor. I think I might start doing that.
