Hello everyone!

Robin! Welcome to TRT! I was very impressed by the "behind it all" section. Very nice and neat setup. I wonder if there is any chance you could post a sketch or diagram with all the plumbing......

Good job!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes for Pat! She just got up a few minutes ago and said she feels fine! She said last night while at the computer she felt a real warm feeling in her lower left side of her stomach and it scared her! Will keep an eye on her just in case I need to take her to the Doc!

I make it a family event! After the mix is ready, usually 5 gallon lots for a 37 gallon tank, I yell for the kids to come help me. Still in that impressionable age and like helping out around the house.

Take out the ye ole hose, stick one end in the tank, hand the other end to one of the kids, do a couple of very quick pulls to get the ole water flowing. Spit out any any sucked up water, explain again why daddy is spitting water out of his mouth. Then hope that the kids keep the end in the empty buck as I move the other around the tank doing some cleaning. Then use a rubbermaid pitcher and filler right back up. Takes about 5 minutes total. Then I spend 10 minutes clean up the water that is on the carpet where my kids were fighting over the hose!

Nothing fancy here!

Doug
