Oh hey, anyone wanting a nice gradient engraved? Just for fun,

Now see, I’d be the one swearing at myself. “Turn the water on first, you dumb F*CK!”

@Ashley_M_Kirchner_No ​. Hahaha

@donkjr , thanks for the suggestion, but I have all the tools I need to do what I’ve been wanting to do for months. I just haven’t done yet. And I’m getting complacent …

I’m working on temp monitoring right now so I need to read your blog Don. My pump is inline, not in the water and that was heat problem one of the secondary reasons i went outside the tank.

Currently I’m not directly hooked up to the machine power supply plugs on the back. After looking at and being concerned about the sloppy wiring and grounding it came with I ordered new plugs to replace the factory ones. I’m using a power strip too a this time.

Chin up Ashley, you could lost the tube and thanks for reminding the rest of us to pay attention!

My plan this summer is to solve the cooling problem. I am going to add a temp monitor to the tube, evaluate peltier vs conventional refrigeration (been thinking about a small refrigerator) and then install a winter heating subsystem.
Of course that is in line with a new Ox router and everything finally moved to the shop so I don’t burn down my house :(.
