I used a KF4 evaporation chamber. The only down side is that I had to use a syringe tip bottle to fill. This is why I switched to subtank mini. Might go back to my orchids just for driving.

I epoxied all my bottom fill holes shut. No need for bottom fill. Too much hassle. I think I'll wire up some 24g Ti in one of my orchids and put it back into rotation.

I don't think you understand, I'm using a KF4 evaporation chamber on all my orchids. No top fill no bottom fill. Fill through the chamber no leaks while filling.

You are living in the Stone Age if you are leaving your orchid stock.

To view pictures go to the orchid modification thread. If it can be done, we have done it. No need to ever use an orchid stock. I would rather use a subtank mini with will get you the same performance.

I'm sorry I take back what I said.

Your "new idea" of filling is great. Everyone should be doing it. Thanks for the brand new information. Your opinion means something. You are destined for greatness.

I really don't understand what your technique is. So you bottom fill while holding the air holes shut? What is the point?

The O2 will never leak when bottom filling. Never. If it does then the wicking is incorrect.

Exactly when I was still bottom filling I just took the screw out filled replaced the screw. No secret, no technique, just fill and go. I just got tired of having to fish for a screw driver every time I needed to fill so I replaced the entire tank section with a KF4. Easy, no mods.

I just think you are over thinking the filling process of a stock tank and want to sell us on your "new" idea.

^^^This.

I do the KF4 thing (or Aqua II parts) on all my orchids. The only tank I tolerate bottom filling with is the Goblin Mini.

IMG_20151024_012146.jpg Eric DeCastro, I gotta give you some props man. Sincerely. My spring in my switch was very worn out (my mod was given to me), and while searching what to do about it I ran across a thread on here where you suggested stripping the core wire out of a coax cable and making a spring out of that. I tried it, and it worked beautifully! I wrapped it around a small flathead, drilled a hole in one end of the handle to hold one end of the wire while I wrapped it. My mod wasn't hitting that great and the button was very crunchy, the homemade spring solved all of that. Even though we aren't seeing eye to eye, I wanted you to know that your advice helped me, and wanted to say thank you for sharing it. I attached a picture of a comparison shot, old spring on the left, homemade spring on the right. Already had the coax cable, so it didn't cost me a dime.

Here are some more pics of the homemade spring. I can also stand my mod upright now without it firing or leaning over, something i could not do before. IMG_20151024_011503.jpg IMG_20151024_011451.jpg

Asperger Syndrome, so cruel in who it takes....
If I actually was autistic, would this be fucking funny? I'm not autistic but this statement makes you the asshole, not me. Now, I told you once that whatever expectation of me you are trying to enforce through your criticism and bullying will not be met because I do not bow down to critics and bullies. So obviously you have chosen to continue wasting your time. Didn't think I'd call you out again? Mistaken, my friend. Badly mistaken. I'm reporting your post as well.

Assburgers is not considered a bona fide thing by many mental health proffesionals.. It certainly is not Autism. Assburgers is usually diagnosed by defence attorneys representing cry baby hackers who ratted out their friends for a better plea bargin. I makes them look less like the narcissistic psychopaths they are, and the judge will usually approve the plea if they can find any thing that might appear worthy of medical excuse.

Interesting you thought I was speaking about you. And for the record. Autistic Kids rock! Quite a few of them anyway.

That's kind of fucked up.
The OP WAS very informative.
Not everybody feels like modifying shit.
I don't understand the reason behind bullying this dude for trying to help other members who don't feel like (or may not know how to/or may not even OWN tools) modifying shit.
I just don't get it.

I do not accept your defense. To me, you are a bully and nothing more. And aspergers is on the spectrum of autism. I'm not autistic, nor do I have aspergers, nor are you a qualified mental health professional to be speaking about what aspergers is or is not, nor to diagnose anyone with it.

My only intention was to help, and this is the second time I've been bullied for trying to help. Idk wtf some people's problem is either.

Ok, I have thought about it a little bit more. I can accept the possibility that you were not referring to me as having Aspergers. But I still think it was a little bit uncool of you to say it, no matter who you were talking to. I apologize for calling you an asshole.
