I have my pump sitting on about 1 inch of the pink insulation you can get from home depot or lowes. It helps a little.

Another toy. Saw the new Neptune ATO, COR, and Flow monitor at MACNA. Also saw a cool ph controller and a frozen food dispenser which is really awesome. Waiting on my ATI sets and 3 more Radions!!

I'm guessing eventually Strontium. Gonna buy the auto frozen food feeder. Maybe iodine? Iodine scares me to automate
