Also to Dave, I posted a model similar to the one I use earlier, but here's my actual water change pump. I can't tell you how long and well this little sucker has served me. As you can see it's a little more compact than that clunky similar model, making it ideal for water change purposes.

And to KronikGrower,

All I do to get my fluid out is shove this down deep so that the rim of the suction point is touching the lowest point of the tub bottom. I use this same pump with a short hose to reintroduce my fresh solution. You get the idea.

Plug it in, and that's it! Stupid easy, huh?

Brilliant! I never thought of using it to pump water back in, but that would be MUCH easier than trying to pour water from a 3-gallon jug into the top of my res. Now this sounds better than my idea. Easier than I thought and no need to raise up the res on 2x4's.

Hope u made it by 4:20 ~ ! I'll have another bing for ya .. just in case u didn't make it !

Do you think res temps could affect PH ?

Hey Robert,

Rez temps can affect pH if the temp is too high. This can easily allow slime or something similar to form, which well definitely cause pH fluctuations. What are your rez temps like?

cheers

Lord, so you don't even crack your lid? I see two black caps in the upper right and left of your rez? likw drain plugs? is that where you put that pump inside your rez?

No, I just pry open the corners and edges of the tub. The tub lid is pretty strong and flexible. I was worried at first having my plants trained so close to a screen, but it's not a problem at all. I pry it open, the plants flex against the screen a little, but that's all! Those drain plug caps are to allow for probe lines, pump hoses, and power cords.

Yeah, that little pump is my all around work horse. I've had it for more than fifteen years.

I used to worry over water maintenance issues when I first started out, but I've come to relax over the years and just let the little pump do all the work. The beauty of doing a fresh RO flush between water changes is that you don't have to worry so much about slurping out every last drop. Example: even if there is a little of the old res solution the pump missed, it will harmlessly dilute into the rinse water. And if the pump misses a little of the rinse water when you drain that out, it's not a problem because it will just harmlessly mix with the new nutrient solution. So don't fret about getting every last drop. Just as long as you get most of it out to a reasonable degree.

That's actually somebody's pet. Yes, it's a real dog. The proud owner entered him (her?) in a contest for the world's ugliest dog and it won. Believe it... or not!

Very disturbing. Keep those pics coming! :-)
 
I am a guy! A dude, a bro, an hombre, a cowboy, a tomcat, a rooster, and sometimes even a gentleman... But I am NOT any of the hot girls appearing anywhere in my thread. I am the guy who photographed the hot girls... But I'm not a hot girl... not even a girl.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

LOL!
 
That's funny!
The first time I read your thread I thought you where one of the models you'd been featuring, after I read some of your other posts I figured it out.
