True, but if you're operating a large system a large reservoir is invaluable. Say you're running drain to waste... the bigger the res the less frequently you have to refill. If you're running a recirculating system the big res is a lifesaver because it acts as a massive buffer to changes in pH and ppm. How many salt-shakers can you dump in a lake before the water tastes saltier? Bigger-res, less fluctuations. But as you say, that does make for a bigger chore when it comes to draining and filling. If you've just got a few plants a 55 gallon drum is overkill. If you've got a commercial greenhouse it's not going to be remotely large enough. You've got to pick the right reservoir for the right application, simple as that. Just like everything else (right lights, nutes, etc)

Not sure if you found this site during your search (see the link), but she posted the lyrics on the website. Her last post was from the Summer, but I think you can contact her. She may know something. I'm still looking... The words are so insprirational and beautiful - Good Luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Ama Walker

I just did the 'tease' and focused on one letter of each word instead of reading the whole word. Easy to do it that way. Smudge (our Maine Coon) will be 16 in June. I've never known someone to have a 23-yr old cat! Wow, that's amazing, TR. You must have been depressed when she passed.

There is just one stain that I have failed at getting out and it drives me a little crazy. It’s from gripe water with activated charcoal, and I made the mistake of wiping it with a baby wipe (aka trying to blot it off) after getting it on me which somehow set it forever. I’ve gotten this stuff on other items but without rubbing it in it always comes out. My rubbed shirt has gone through everything and the stain is there to stay. :(
