Title: I fixed my air problem
Post by: LizStreithorst on February 27, 2017, 05:59:51 PM
I have a near silent Medo pump running 11 air devices.  Once I discovered that the pump wasn't loud unless the PVC attached to it touched something all I needed to do was figure out how to make it touch nothing.  I did a typical Liz Streithorst fix.  You can tell it wasn't done by a pro (I used baling twine) but you can see that it works well, and see why.  I'm totally impressed with myself.  I didn't plan to do this project today.  I only figured it out by piddling around trying this and that until the light bulb over my head came on.

I think the muse of fish rooms took over my brain.  I hope she visits again.

To invoke the Green Muse you have to be drinking Absinthe.

It is not!  Absinthe is made with worm wood.  Ouzo is just anise.  It's the only thing the two have in common.  Besides, I only drink beer.
