Well No pictures today but I wanted to give an update on my nelson reactor that I was having problems with. MRC Sent me a new reactor and it is working great. Other than the long lag time for the problem I have no complaints.


However now my problem is with sunlight supply. I few weeks ago I ordered some more lights for my system. And, well I have only 400 watts of 2800 I ordered burning because of the untimely reply from them, defective products, and broken promises.

Well Just got off the phone they told me a train derailed in TX. That is why I don't have a ballast. It was coming From TN and I am in AL. All I have to say is "ok".

Nuclear reefs, just because you didn't hear of a derailment happening doesn't mean it didn't happen. It was probably an intermodal train and it might have been a very minor derailment yet enough to delay the shipment. Tens of thousands of these happen every year. You only hear of the handful that are big enough to effect a community or be news worthy.

That sounds cool...Should work pretty good too.

Just a thought, be careful of dust on the bulbs.

I'm not really manually experienced, but I'm planning on starting one or two tubs the way you have them set up. Now, is the pipe coming down from the top with valves on it the inlet, and the pipe cut at an angle, screwed into the drain the outlet?
