Ok, can't seem to get my nitrates below 20 on my BC29. It seems to be getting a little worse with the weather getting warmer (temp hovers around 81 now). Also, in the long run, I would like to get a little smarter about the setup I have.
Here are my thoughts.
Directly below my BC, is the storage room that has access to a drain and the RO/DI water supply. Sooooo, was thinking about putting a fuge down there with an auto feeder from the RO/DI unit.
This would help dilute the bio load, keep the water level correct, and hopefully cool the overall system since it is like 65 degrees in my basement.
Here is what I don't know....how do I setup a system of pipes/pumps so that I don't create a disaster by pumping water upstairs? I am sure there is a solution to this, but have zero experience with what is available.
The auto topoff for the RO/DI...that should be easy, correct?
I also wanted to make some way to do larger water changes easier by just having a drain out of the fuge (is this still needed?)
Thoughts/ideas would be great.....
I would even consider hiring out to get this accomplished if someone wants a side gig.
I tried the party idea, but that is not getting any traction. Sent out 12 invites, got two no-go's and not one yes. I guess doing this in the summer months is a bad idea, or maybe I should change it to a weekday because everyone's calendar's are such a mess. Or peeps are thinking....what is with this new guy? He drops on our boards and thinks he can impose on our wisdom by bribing us with beer k, you all got me....you aren't week enough to be bribed by beer....hhhmmm what would work?
k, thanks in advance for ideas/info!
