Leave it on Automatic but don’t go back and select one of the stock schedules. Manual means it’s not running except when you tell it to.

I don’t recommend having Trident readings in control of real life

I’m out of town too. Should be fun though

You really know how to sell it Will. You and Eric should open an advertising firm lol.

I’d like to be involved. But only if it’s ok with you and the metrics that I’ll be contributing for the ones I know well, and abstaining from the ones I don’t (which will probably be a lot). If that is an issue, I’m fine sitting it out as well.

We are in the middle of bluff, bluster, and negotiate mode. Today isn’t a good day to buy but maybe tomorrow will be. The blatant stock price manipulations and signaling ahead of time on Truth Social is special. It’s the only reason to follow him if you can stomach it. Good thing he has 100%...

We already have experience regarding of the rate at which retail prices go up vs down as the wholesale cost to the retailer varies. Gas prices are the classic example. When there is some world event that raises gas prices, they all raise overnight because it’s costing them more, but also because...

If someone watches this can you give the rest of us an update? I miss the days when companies would update you with a sentence of text instead of a long meandering video

It’s a long time. Feel free to kick us out early if you need to lol. Or put us to work. If you need something plumbed Eric will be there!

@jamie Yes we can do swaps and other events at someone’s house. Or community center. If you or anyone else would like to host or has a lead please let @MichaelB know. He was just saying that when we look to rent a place that we don’t have some inside relationship with, it is shockingly...

I agree in general, but when I first got my first Plank the flow was too high on the most open setting, and un-rehydrated mysis would get out and then float over the overflow, defeating the point of the tube. When I set to a lower setting it would rehydrate, then come out. But in the nearly 2...

When I sent mine in for the Trident replacement thing they gave me an intake filter with the new unit. I had the impression they were doing that standard. Maybe not.

Yes but more specifically it’s most open when the largest hole is under the mixing pump intake. The less open settings are just throttling the pump intake. When the flow slows down for me I have to clean it (bottom part, inside of tube, and eventually the mixing pump). I haven’t had to clean the...

It would be nice if the mixing pump intake was screened or something. Several times I’ve had a snail or floating debris get stuck in it and stop the mixing. For that reason I have the mixing pump turn off for an hour each night to let whatever is there crawl or float away.

I like the pump outflow deflector in the new tube piece since it gets the water swirling more than the pump alone would. I wonder if the bottom twisty piece comes off (without breaking), that would give you the deflector without the hole size limiter.

If you aren’t in a rush, they sometimes go on sale. I bought mine at 25% off on consecutive Black Friday’s, which is more than the savings above.

They have changed the design some since launch. Currently it’s a plastic disc that covers the bottom of the mixing tube, just below the mixing pump. It swivels to let different amount of water flow through the mixing chamber. The more open, the more aggressive the mixing and more quick outflow...

I see and do the same as you. And like you, I keep telling myself I should clean the tube and mixing pump more often. I set the tube opening to the highest setting to extend times between feeding. When my plank was new it would cause the dried mysis to come out too quickly (not fully rehydrated)...

I dump mine into the display. The creator of the Plank mentioned to me that ambient humidity can be a problem for food getting gummed up, this is the main reason I don’t put them in the sump area (100% humidity in a closed cabinet with water). Second reason is that I’m more likely to notice when...
