Yea, we have one just a few miles from the house and also a Hammerheads Ace Hardware that's about 2 miles. So we should be good to go!

 

[CMcNeil]

does anyone have a hobby shop or somewhere near them they can get some 5/16"od clear acrylic tube from?i dont have this and we will need it to make the bubble counters.it isnt critical we have it but it would be nice if we did.

The Hammerheads Ace Hardware might have it. If no one has a hobby shop I could check their in the morning. I did have a hobby shop on EBay but I'm not sure if they are still there.

[CMcNeil]

Mike I was thinking of just going with my Kalk reactor and 2 part, I'm trying to keep the # of pumps down to a minimum.
