Those are safe as long as you don't generate dust from them somehow 😄
 
We have a house by us where they made a ufo crashed into the ground with an alien coming out of it. It’s taped off with police tape and two “men in black” standing around it. Definitely one of the coolest diy Halloween decorations ive seen
Post a pic next time you drive by.
 
To clean the pumps, does it matter if I use tap water? I can't run RO water these days because Miami is changing something in the water system, and many people don't recommend doing RO water these days because it can damage the system

I just use Tap water and citric acid. But rinse it with RO or left salt water.

I've always used tap for cleaning all gear. Of course my tanks crash a lot so...

Got it, no flatulence! I’ll finish the chili before they get here and avoid Taco Bell after. 😉
 
Good morning. I slept in a little, but aching muscles woke me. Hot bath helps.
Good morning Wes, I hope you feel better! Doing some patient restraining yesterday?

Thank you guys, is it preferable with the powerheads working or keep them off?
