Yes yes ezi and db but rc al best to hire the excavator and do work yourself then have a whole team of builders there doing it. Some benifits to underground living that no one else needs to know about :laughing-rolling:

Let’s get this thread back on track.
Clandestine below ground labs don’t have much to do with a bubbler build

Been iching to boot her up for weeks... as it was the cap on my blockhead was just sitting on top, sealed with a piece of rubber. I'm still waiting for a clamp and seal.

Looking good Dan :handgestures-thumbupleft: Exciting times mate. There's nothing like running your own bubbler for the first time.

Thanks doubleuj and woodduck!

There is truly something about watching those bubbles :))
I was a bit worried my plates might not seal great, being that i used only one seal between plate and 2 tees.
This morn they were still loaded with water after running it last night. :happy-partydance:

You recon it's good to watch with water in it just wait till the alc gets in there, much sexier :laughing-rolling: Try sort out those seals before you start running alcohol, you don't want leaks for safety reasons and you especially don't want to waste any :laughing-rolling:

Clamps turned up in the mail today... hooray!
Running some vinegar throught her at the moment, no leaks so far. :geek:
The wall on the inside isnt coming up totally sparkling clean, i think there is a yellow sort of stain from the citric acid bath. I've had it going for well over an hour. I thought i rinsed it fairly well straight after the acid bath, but perhaps not good enough.
Should i be pulling it apart and cleaning better... i kinda dont want to if not necessary, especially since i got it all sealing.

I wouldn’t think so mate, reckon your sac run will clean her up a bit better too

Thanks mate... was wondering if the sac run might do that. Thought i best ask before i pull her apart.

Nice going!

The sac run will give you an indication of how she runs... be very very different to anything you've had in there so far!

Don't rush it!

Enjoy it. The sac run will give her a better cleaning the longer its going, so no need to push it thru fast! Have a play; push her buttons, get a feel for how she reacts!

:laughing-rolling: our first run, I was adjusting the water volume to the RC and was expecting an instant response... well it don't happen! So fidgeting back and forth, back and forth... nearly messed up the whole first run! :laughing-rolling: Didn't help that I kept switching "how the water gets turned down" either ... cursing and swearing at it - "Why the #$%@# is the drip rate going down??? :laughing-rolling: funny days...

Thanks EziTasting for the insight!
Everything seems to be running as it suppose to, all the plates loaded pretty much at the same time. So far so good. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
