Cancer?

No, it is said that he was electrocuted, I don't want to confirm it but that's what I could read on IG in the page that was confirmed his death

I found that using citric acid in water that is warm or slightly hot from the tap works even better.

I always use slightly warm water as well.

Good morning everyone.

Had the day off yesterday and today ...amazing....so we got to play with the cnc, acylic bender and lazer engraver. We are on our 2nd protypes for algae scrubbers, tanks lids and now since I added stirrers to my store bought dosing containers we see a improvement to this product too. Thinking containers with an stir stations options.
Trying to come up with design to max dosing container space since not everyone has a 8 foot tank stand... So time to get to the drawing board on this,
We are getting bids on prices of materials clear and colored so we can offer colors.
If anyone has ideas of what they would want let me know we are gonna do custom orders too since we already have 3 lids that want their names engraved into it and cutouts for auto feeders...

Do you guys think I can still make saltwater outside? That's where my dad says I have to do it.. in a mulch pit.. I don't know how I'm gonna run a power head or heater for the water.

right now thats the plan but we have a meeting with plastic company that there is a even better option...will cost more so maybe two options...

you can use acrylic but it has to have support. the ones i did for my 40 breeder are still flat and super strong.

good job on your lid...thanks for the picture. We made a few out of acylic and found they warp especially once into the 2 feet long or more..we want to be able to offer best material's out there..

Do I need to heat the saltwater when u mix it? Or can I just run a power head?

Back in the day I used to mix it by hand until it was clear, I did that for 16 years. You could do that, bring it in plop a heater in it and when it comes to temp use it.

I don't have time today to mix it by hand sadly. When I'm home I'll get my trashcan and start producing RO.

Ok Paul, let your OCD go wild and send me all of your criticism!

So I don't need a heater? I have like 3 extra power heads.

If you are doing just 10% you could probably get by adding it in quarters over a couple hours but I would get a cheap heater for the future.
