open the bleed line and apply back pressure on the output. I believe from working with these when they first came out that bc its pressurized it doesn't have to "fill" with water the water still fills the media chamber. HTH Sean

I highly doubt theres parasites in any frozen foods. They would have to be larval to host anything other than a fish if Im not mistaken. A larval ectoparasite would not survive frezzing temps. Don't know about endo though. But again, these companies aren't scraping the bottom of the barrel for their food supplies. I think you have a real chance of developing bacteria on the frozen food. Just as if you were to continually thaw frozen human grade seafood

They always look better in someone else tank though Just ask Francis (gionva) lol Looks great Ha

LOL'ed so hard soda came through my nose

I'm familiar with the unit. What are you using it on? Calcium reactor? CO2 reactor for planted tank? I tried using those on a calcium reactor and blew 2 of them out. I don't think they are designed to handle any sort of back pressure whatsoever. Now the one I have running on my planted tank in the store sometimes needs to be "opened" to clear the line. This is also true for a line with a true CO2 check valve. Like I said, these units are great for precision, but bunk for pressure applications, I think primarily because they have a digital regulator and diaphragm, as opposed to a mechanical one like the blueline or miluakee.

Does anyone know the best way to remove drool from a key board?

FWIW I keep my sub zero freezer at -10F, since entering this hobby I've always kept it below 0F. I was told by an old school reefer that this was the only way to avoid unintentional minor thawing when preparing fish food. No science there, just anecdotal. Its always worked for me. However I think it is 100x more likely that the parasite would be introduced through an intermediary host such as mollusks, crustaceans, bivalves, hermits, and arthropods. The chance of a larval parasite just being on something that it cannot host is IME very low; frag plugs, macro, etc. Although if you purchase something from a tank that houses fish as well and happens to have a high load of parasites then your chances would most definitely be higher.
