Hey Brett.... Glad to see you've made use of that pail I forgot down there! Haha.

Do you manually add water to the pail or does it ATO itself or you have a line to feed it to fill?

Cheers man!

lmao. i KNEW that pail wasn't one of mine. Mystery solved (and thanks for the freebie!).

The red ro/di line going into the bucket (with a fancy sch80 1.5" coupler tie wrapped to it for weight) goes up thru the floor into the bathroom. My ro/di is under the bathroom sink. I just manually fill the pail once a week. Pretty low tech!

Haha, your welcome dude.

Those kent pails are pretty sweet, I love that they hold like 7 gallons (thats one of the super tall ones, my other kent pail is an inch shorter).

Haha plumbing seems to be a common use item for weighing stuff down.

Ok I've heard the name "buttercup" on this thread before but I can't figure out who buttercup is?????

lastlight · #7 06-01-2010, 08:26 PM

Buttercup is a big female fire clown who used to terrorize Doug at the store until I 'saved' her.

I got her because I loved my old tomato and to calm the damn blenny down a bit. It's worked out pretty well the blenny is on my sps a lot less now.

I've run into the bottom of the shelf probably 10 times. I think it's finally sunk in and I haven't done it in a few trips. One of the first times the impact loosened a screw holding the bracket to the shelf. The next time I hit it it drove the screw into my shoulder and I got torn up pretty bad!

I was STILL too lazy to move it between the studs or onto the other side. I think it looks hilarious and I like a little ghetto in my builds =)
