Got tired of checking water and dealing with fluctuations on 3 different tubs, so I connected them.
2025.01.27 05:15 GardenvarietyMichael Got tired of checking water and dealing with fluctuations on 3 different tubs, so I connected them.
I was using three 14 gallon HDX tubs (short version of the 27 gallon, same lids) with six 6" net pots each. It was difficult dealing with 3 separate reservoirs, having to pull 3 plants every day, and then when one tub did well the plants would rapidly change the water. I have a 27 gallon tub, so I could just take the whole top off one and set them on the tall tub, but then I had random air lines stuck in the net pot holes, so that made moving the tops a challenge. Also, of course I was growing algae on the under side of my lids. Hopefully this solves a lot of that.
Here are the materials and tools off the top of my head.
Materials: 3, 14 gallon HDX tubs 600gph air pump 4, 1.5" bulkheads. 2, 6" long 1.5" ID pvc or abs pipe PVC primer and glue Aquarium air line 6 90 degree airline elbows 6 Y splitters 12 small airstones 24 suction cup airline holders small submersible pump flexible plastic tubing black matte primer spray paint for plastic white semi-gloss spray paint
Optional Z-rack clothing rack 2x4's plant light
tools hole saw for bulkheads hole saw for net pots drill deburring tool adjustable plumbers wrench heat gun chop saw for pipe masking tape drop cloth small clean wire brush
I drilled the holes in the tubs as low as I could while still having room to seal. I want to say it was 2.75" on center from the bottom, but can't swear to it. I then used a different longer pipe with bulkhead ends and connected it between two tubs without the rubber seals. Loosely wrapped the bulkheads around the edges with masking tape to keep the heat away. I then layed spare 2x4's across the top of them to hold them flat to the concrete, and then used a heat gun on a low setting to get the plastic hot enough to get "plastic". Mostly above and to the sides of the bulkhead. It took a few minutes on each connection. Had to push out on the tubs at the top, as they were being pushed in by the connections. Let that cool. Disassembled and set all 3 next to each other. The tubs mostly held their new position. Installed the new bulkheads and then measured with a tape measure inside them deciding 6" was the needed length of pipe. Then assembled everything as seen in pics. I was going to run the water pump line outside, but I didn't have any black hose so I just ran it back through the bulkheads. This has much less chance of a catastrophic leak anyways. I also just ran the airlines under the lids, with 90 degree elbows so it can't flatten the line. I used a clean wire brush to texture the surface of the lids after washing and drying them. Sprayed the black on first, waited 48hrs and then did white. The white alone is still translucent, so I sprayed black on the under side. It's definitely easier to just paint the top of the lids black, and then paint it white. That way there is only one surface painted and the black layer stops anything that the white doesn't reflect. That last pic is my tap water before doing anything to it. It fluctuates, but this is as bad as its been.

2025.01.27 05:15 Keefshovel740 First time watching
I’ve been watching the show for about two weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m on season 5 and while there are some cons to the show I have felt much comfort in it. While the action and plot are good I really enjoy the romance. I had a girlfriend who I loved and thought I would marry someday but she was still stuck on the past and everything eventually fell apart. The show makes me think of when I was younger, the adventures I had and the love that I had hope for. Now a days I work all the time and live a very monotonous life but the show has been very comfortable and I thought I’d show my appreciation for it.

2025.01.27 05:15 Significant_Access_1 Stuck
I'm still working on myself such as, losing more weight etc . I just feel like a mess. Im trying to finf a new therapist and job . My current ones sucks . I know I need another year to work on me ,but I'm just so lonely. Ive have my own hobbies and when I'm not at work I'm with my sister. I am always working on my independence and learning how to budget . Im just so lonely even though I have friends I can text / call. Im not sure what job to do after this one. Obviously another minuim wage job in my hometown . My dream is to found a steady job and move out alone. Ive live with my mom and never went to college just trade schools. I have a lot of mental health issues. I dont really understand the point of life sometimes. I feel like every year I'm just working on myself to accomplish my goals so I can move out. It doesn't help work is very toxic and I dont talk for 8 hours. My mom not there for me emotionally and my head is stuck in the past . My therapist ask me if I'm depressed and I say no because my meds are working, but everyday I feel a hole inside like I'm missing something. I dont feel like a real adult either because I have to hide things from my mom and I know i need to move out but I also don't have a car. I cant believe i will be 30 with my liscene. I have no one to practice with and sometimes I'm not sure if it safe because I haven't driven for 10 years. I struggle with learning disabilities and I dont miss my ex ,but then again i sometimes wish I could have him back . At the end of the day I just missing have a man in my life and these days idk how to meet anyone. F29

2025.01.27 05:15 Swimming_Sorbet6066 Partial Thyroidectomy
My surgery is next week and half of me is in denial and the other part is freaking out internally. My endo and surgeon are not best in communicating what expected afterwards. All I have been told is that I may lose my voice and I won’t need synthroid (which I read is no always true).
I guess what I wanted to know is if the two weeks off is adequate. Also, I wanted to know what I should expect afterwards and anything you would have done different in aftercare. I already have a messed up neck and not looking forward to this. I tried to avoid this surgery but my doctors had a come to Jesus moment with me on my birthday.
I was diagnosed with the nodules after I got CT scan for debilitating back pain after a head-on collision. Unfortunately thyroid cancer runs in my family and the largest nodule is over 4 cm with suspicious molecular findings. I wanted to know if they are gonna test the nodule they’re removing for cancer and if I’m gonna need any radiation or any other treatment if there is cancer. I guess my doctors are trying to be optimistic and not going down that road yet, but any insight would help me understand what to expect.

Yess!! I'm making a Lot of posts because My fav thing ever is Grey's anatomy and I LOVEEEE people debating and watch differents opinions!! Because i can't see that on tik tok bc the algorythm is not pretty good. So, what do You people think abt this? Im watching Grey's anatomy again since season 1 - 5 and it was very interesting for me watching certain scenes of George, i'm to lazy to explain them but i'm the only one who feels this? I'm not saying is good portrayed because shonda didn't even did a good job portraying Virginia Dixon, but it's really interesting to me to see what people think!!

2025.01.27 05:15 theTrueLocuro Retirement police - how would handle this?
Since I'm ERed and have the time, I attend probably a meetup every week. Sometimes I"ll know someone at the event but it usually involves me talking to strangers.
Of course, "what do you do" is a common question. (yes I read the thread from a few days ago about the same thing and early dating)
I say I worked in finance for many years and I'm semi-retired.
Usually it goes okay but a guy got super pissed and tried to call bullshit, saying there was no way I could afford that. I say I look young I'm 39. He says still. I say I bought ten years ago and had lot of rent increases.
Obviously it was stupid of me to even play into this whole thing but I'm wondering if I'm approaching about this from the wrong angle.
Job title is all about being interesting. Usually saying you're retired is a good conversation starter.
Although I wonder if I'm coming across as a deuchebag, like I'm bragging about my money?
What do you think?

2025.01.27 05:15 aveea Old series of friends debating berd stuff in a diner?
I can't remember what it was called but I'm like 80% sure it was an old college humor series?
4 friends would meet in an empty dinner and go on "debates" (scripted in a very rhythmic way that old college humors stuff was) and that was basically it, a new topic per a vid and I don't think it went on for very long?
Also, another one where it was done like a news report??? Idk it's been years, and I'm only guessing they used to be college humor but there's so many series (under dropout of course) now it feels impossible to find anything if it's not in a playlist 😭
