That's a nice looking unit, I've thought about plumbing one in with my sump but haven't had any of the issues that required the one I used to use. Please do update on it's performance in a free months.

Man the pressure is heavy in my normal crab spot this summer. We do so well there that we waited a bit to go out this summer, still limited out but I'm pretty sure people literally dropped pots on my buoy lines, I could feel the snags on one I pulled up. Less than a boat width between some of...

Of course it does. It's either a pet, or livestock, until you eat it. Then it's dinner. Either way you have to keep it alive so you're a keeper of oysters and clams for sure.

Man you jumped too quick on a folding top, I totally think the way you keep your fish room you would love a sliding top and likely have the skills to make one for $7 with the parts list I have. They're way more convenient for daily and easier to lift off and clean than those "hinges" and silky...

To even them out, find your favorite roundabout (traffic circle) and hit it at about midnight with no traffic. I had an evening blowing off steam a few bikes ago and wore one rear tire down to a funnel in about 15 laps around in light rain. Flat track experience and a low seat height recommended...

Glad to hear another believer of the fast fill system. It's a real life changer, especially when life gets busy.

Man I have the tank for him but it's aqua scaped for nano fish. Hope someone snatches him up for you quickly, very nice looking fish.

It's the aquarist version of the tur-duck-en

It probably is, keeping eggs around in my tank is a big part of the challenge with egg scattering fish, I've seen plenty of making but the eggs are always consumed by someone before I can try to find enough to protect.

I haven't been able to successfully raise up any tetra fry, if you do I know a guy that would buy 30-50 from you... You mention aggressiveness, what size tank did you put then in and how many?

I have swapped that gate valve from the original build with a ball valve, mine doesn't have a bleeder though. I actually leave the hose full but depressurized under the sink with another ball valve on the end of the hose. I use the ball valve at the end of the hose as the primary on/off control...

At 75' that is a lot of hose to coil indeed. I don't know if you were using 5/8" or 1/2" when you tried the rv hose, I use 1/2" for easier storage but mines only 50' long. I roll mine over/under and it sits in a Tupperware tub I put under "my half" of the guest bathroom sink, always connected to...

Oh and on that topic, once you set it up, make sure to run the hot water tap at the sink until you get hot water before trying to run the filler system. Trying to heat the pipe from the filler itself takes forever thanks to it throttling down so far because it doesn't have any hot water to open...

I doubt it would make much difference having 3/4 vs 1/2 unless your whole home has lower water pressure, and your sources have bigger fittings than mine. My source valves are only 3/8. I stepped the thing up to a rv freshwater hose (same connections as a standard garden hose) and get excess of 5...

I have no reason I could offer to not use a different one, only a positive experience to share about a specific one. Can't prove a negative very easily so honestly that one's worth trying too. In my case other than specific chemistry and math, I usually only recommend the things I have...
