00 are just easier to work-with, as they're large, so you don't have to fart-arse around filling & capping a heap of smaller ones (filling caps one by one is a royal PITA without creating a heap of mess).

I spread my finished caps on a baking tray & snap-freeze them, so the liquid doesn't have a chance to break-down the gel. Once they're frozen, they go into airtight jars & are kept in the fridge. That way, they're solid & remain as individual caps.

I made the mistake (ONCE!) of keeping the jar at ambient temperatures during summer. The whole lot melted into a gooey mess in the bottom of the jar & had to be re-processed.

Alternatively a two-float switch combo wired in series to the sump pump?

A picture is worth 1000 words.....:

EDIT: 3rd diagram should show liquid level BELOW the lower float switch.

My drawing skills are severely lacking......:rolleyes:

Missed this post somehow. Yes, timer turns on pump in main res to fill control bucket, when desired flood height reached a float switch turns it off. (could also have the timer set to turn the pump off after X minutes in case the float switch fails as a redundancy) then 5/10/15 mins later, timer turns on pump in control bucket to pump back to main res, when level gets to desired drain height a second flloat switch turns that pump off. I think that's the simplest way to do it.

Trays sit a foot off the floor on 2x4s and control bucket sits on floor so the trays will always drain empty before the control bucket gets to the drain level.

Nice drawings, very clear!!

I’ll start trimming the plants soon. I’ll hang it all in the small tent so I can clean out the big tent and get the clones plus the gdp x goofy grape in their final pots. I’ll put everything under the qb’s for now, I’ll give the other light a rest to save power. I’ll turn the other light on in 10 days and set the scrog. Hopefully the shits dry in the small tent and I can start the BT sog in there.

Tasmania to close and clean hotspot hospitals, shut down retail in north-west
Tasmanian premier Peter Gutwein has announced that North-West regional hospital and North-West private hospital in Burnie will be shut for a deep clean, and the staff will be required to isolate for 14 days.

The government is doing this because of the 133 confirmed coronavirus cases in the state, 61 are linked to the north-west coast, 49 are linked to an outbreak in the hospitals and 35 are healthcare workers.
The close contacts of those affected will also need to self-isolate.
There will also be new restrictions in Latrobe, Kentish, Devonport, the Central Coast, Bernie, Waratah, Circular Head, and the West Coast.
In addition to the rules around only leaving the home for an essential purpose, all retail stores in the north west will be required to close unless they can do online or home delivery.
There is an exception for medical services, pharmacies, supermarkets, petrol stations, bakeries, laundromats, dry cleaners, newsagents, bottle shops, IT repair and car repair, vet services, pet food stores, and banks.
Kmart and Harvey Norman will be closed, Gutwein said, and Bunnings will only be allowed to sell to trade workers.
“This will be a difficult period, I would ask you to work with us,” Gutwein said.
“With the aim of this is to get to the end of a two-week period where we can bring those health services back online and importantly we can lift the restrictions as well. We need to do this, we need to do it now, we need to get on top of it, and I make no apologies for that, the swiftness of the action that we are taking.”
