Got that shit dialed in! Cheers, brother.
Though, I do have a question in a different topic... What are you doing as far as lighting/heat in your setups? I'm curious since you're so meticulous about everything else so far.
Haha yes I ran into this problem, so I used some of the more flexible tubing I had left over from my blumat system that was also 1/4th for underside of the lid.
Okay, cool.
Thanks again for helping me figure this out, and getting it running effectively. I definitely wanted to pull my hair out a couple times but i'm glad to have the support of such an awesome community!
The next thing I'm going to do is add a blumat system for my plants with an...
Oh, there's just one (main) line that goes down to the very bottom of the bucket. And also the line that feeds back into it drops down about 6", and then there's a little water heater on the bottom as well, to keep the water warm.
Oh, yes. I forgot to update you on that. The aquaponics pump wasn't covered through the amazon store credit, so I bought your pump with the correct fittings. The only issue i'm having now is getting my valve set up correctly. So far I get a little spray and then it stops (and this is only with...
This project keeps throwing wrenches at me. Nothing works on this pump as far as connectors. I tried 1/2" connectors and returned them for being too big. I just got the 3/8ths and it's barely too small. I think there's something odd about this pump and i'm just wasting time and money at this...
Damn, you found those fast haha. You're a wizard.
So I think I'm going to buy the Aquatec pump instead! Amazon gave us $100 for screwing up so many of our shipments, so essentially they are buying us a pump.
It's definitely larger than 1/4th, so it's got to be 3/8th. I checked amazon and they didn't have plastic versions of what I need but I found these: https://www.amazon.com/LTWFITTING-Female-Compression-Connector-Fitting-x/dp/B00CHHYMP8
No worries if not. I noticed your pump is back in stock. I just have to keep it next to my aquarium and i'm afraid the noise will bother the chameleon.
So apparently my pump is not 1/2" so i'm going to need a new one after all.
Any suggestions? I'm down to spend a bit more for something that's quieter.
Where did you get those drip lines that you attached to the connectors? I have all the connectors I would need, but I'll have to find drip lines like yours to plug in.
One thing I may do in the future, though, is buy one of those pumps you referenced previously. Probably depends on how much the noise bothers me and the wife.

oh i’d love to throw in a rain feature as well. What do you use to accomplish that?
Btw i’m still waiting for the connectors but they...
Yes, i’m at $70 dollars, but with that I bought extra tubing and connectors (to eventually connect to more places if need be) and I am using a mistking sprayer. I’m also not getting a lot of that money back so spending an extra $110 or what have you doesn’t seem worth it to me at this point.
now...
