I guess its true polycarbonate panels dont let the right spectrum of light through. The pic shows this too be true?

where are you in OBX? I visit down there every year in the summer to emerald isle. I'd love to stop by and see your setup if you are nearby and willing to see visitors.

Redox, take a look at the "meshwheel frickin rocks" thread in the DIY and you will not be sorry. I cant imagine using a mesh mod on one of those giant RK2 mothers! Your gonna get some super foam!

water makup is a snap

this puppy makes 1500 gallons per day. I am in the process of almost doubling that amount by adding another 4"x40"membrane

I was telling my husband about your great setup and we both had one question. Do you have to use massive chillers in the summer and massive heaters in the summer? I am a newby at this propigation thing and I have mine in the basement....so it stays pretty constant. Lots of moisture though. We are dealing with that now!!! Looks great. Thanks for sharing photos!!!

just a central air unit , no heat other than 2-1000 watt titaniums. I have lots of moisture as well, an exaust fan helps that. You could install a energy recovery vetilator to solve your moisture in the basement

AWESOME! Could you post a better shot of your phytoplankton reactors? Are they DIY? Can you explain how they work?

Thanks
