Build day on Friday!

After I get home from work, the fun begins!

Posts will be put up either Friday or Saturday night.

The refrigeration piping is a material that Hightower researched and would like to try. He'll be able to provide more specifics as to his choice of tubing

Titanium was obvious first choice but because it is so expensive, and not readily available and after alot of research we decided to go with stainless steel 316L.

I read a ton of posts on it, and SS wins. Hey if this stuff can go inside the human body, its good for fish too.
