not the cleanest but it works!
 
had to reset my Phyto
Its always a gamble using the water mixed up the prior week .
Went to all four air feeds...
All cleaned with denatured alcohol... cabinet aired-out... funnel wiped down... almost out of f/2

Diluted almost a whole gallon of my stash between the four jugs, then added a liter of 1.014 salinity water with 1.5ml f/2 in it. Let it sit in the dark overnight to wakeup from being in the fridge. Should hit the ground running.
 
I need to get mine set up. I probably won't be doing gallons. We're looking at smaller batches.

hah; I'm only doing gallons because I have the bulbs and fixture; the 4' tubes lend themselves well to gallons. ;)
 
I'm tempted to turn part of my basement pantry into a phyto reserve.
My issue with it in the fridge is you need to shake it.
That is why I store it in the fridge door! Way easier to shake.
 
gave all my Apex sensors a citric acid then RODI bath... I figure its been a year and a half since I started running them; probably need it. tried and failed to catch a holding cardinal... will try again later.

Put a fake urchin in a container. Makes it easier.
