I was on vacation got more sanding done still needs a coat or 2 of mud I suck at drywall. Got back me and Matt got the mixing barrels plumbed up. Was testing rodi to make water had a leak on the auto shutoff valve so just ordered that. Dry wall has to be finished before water so no dust falls in.

got water going through system. 2 things I am looking at changing though.

 

1. tuning the beananimal with a ball valve is a pain to me. thinking of ordered a gate valve like i should of from the start.

2. not sure how fond i am of the mp40 i have 1 on each side its not that they are loud, but they seem to have a vibration to them more annoying to me.

just saw the water photo - congrats!

 

yes, a gate valve is a must for the bean animal. i have a sch80 1.5" gate valve i'll send you for free with your evergrow light in the mail. you'll love how much easier they are to adjust and to tune a bean it is with it. glad to help bud!

 

keep us posted!

Hooked up the ATO and ran the lines added a shrimp to help kick off the cycle. On vacation again now hopefully when I get back it will be getting closer.

 

Gotta get lights hung

Clean up wires

Get router for apex

Program apex

Get gate valve to tune beananimal.

Mess with rocks a tad more.

Then molding and done.

 

Been a long build but I'm happy with the way its turning out thanks to all those who helped me along the way with annoying questions and ideas.
