    Figured I'd update this as a progress note. So I've been dehydrating organic kale, spinach, and romaine. Never realized the time it takes to do this. To dry out, pre-freeze drying, takes about 24 hours and the leaves take a lot of space in the dehydrator, so its been about 7-8 days to dry out...

    Krylon Fusion paint

    Just wanted to add here, in case you go the Krylon route. The cause of problems with paint insn't the paint itself, its the VOCs the paint gives off while curing. Technically you can use any spraypaint, it just has to fully cure and that's usually where concerns are. Krylon is the paint most...

    Base is going to start as a phyto/zooplankton suspension with freeze dried cyclops and rotifiers, then we work up from there. Ran some nutritional profiles on various seaweeds and I can incorporate 3 types (Alaria/Wakami, Chondrus Crispus, Laminaria) to cover the majority of the needs of the...

    Full spectrum food advice

    I do have a few professional (related) degrees, one of which is nutrition (though used as much as a square hockey puck). In the frustration over buying multiple foods, and the delving into the occasional making my own, I figured I'd try to come up with a food I could freeze dry (I have the...

    Krylon Fusion paint

    Have used Fusion many times in the past. My previous sump on my 90g had fusion painted parts in it for years. Never flaked, never caused a porblem that I was aware of.

    2 heater failure

    Heres my redundancy system / failsafe (ha!) method for protection… Instead of a 200-250w in my current system I have 2x 150w. #1 is connected to an Inkbird controller. Controller is set to 78, as is the heater itself. #2 is in sump, also set at 78. So… If #1 tries to stick ‘on’ it has the...

    PISSED

    So, Brick Petco has always been good to us and Andrew, Annie, and the rest of the crew know many of us by name. Apparently, we had a member, or a member claimee, enter the shop before closing recently. He claimed he was from the NJRC, was entitled to a discount, and that he knew 'Mark', who was...
