Holy crap your display is off the hook man!

Tell me you're not drip-dosing from a cup? How can you keep it dripping anything for long...cup must empty fast!

Thanks Brett


Thats petty much it..... it takes 2-3 minutes for the cup to drain....at 350ish gph on the fuge side(where the dosing station....ya dosing station is) that should be.....well..... the math is hurting my brain...I figure its better than just dumping it all in at once

Pretty hi-tech huh?

What's the new thing coming?

Thanks for the explanation re. the cup. I thought maybe there was some complicated thingamabob dispensing some set amount into the cup and the draining from there. I guess the complicated dispensing thingamabob in this case just happens to be you

Where'd you get that last piece... it looks ALOT like the piece I was gonna give you a frag of from the Aussie shipment awhile ago... except yours is missing the green base?? or is it a completely different specie? growth pattern looks very similar
