Found some dollar store jars
They're glass with plated plastic lids
I needed the plastic lids to drill holes for intake pipes

Here's a quick vid You may need to turn your volume up as it's that quiet

I've changed the mixer timers. They run for 1 min every 10 mins
Seems to be working well, and the glass is much quieter than the original plastic containers

The green led makes it look like love potion #9 or cool aid....

Nice touch!

As I stated in the beginning I'm going to use up the Seachem stuff I have before I jump into 2 part
Thanks for the info though ... good to know it's easier to work with mixing-wise
