Appreciate the kind words. I've had a few cycles of all the clones you sent. It's fucking hard to choose which ones to keep going when they all standout.
On day 14 I pulled and planted. To clean I dump and rinse the tank then spray with 409. Let that sit for 15 minutes then add just enough water to cover the pump's suction port.Add in 60ml bleach, return the lid and run for 1 hour, then dump and rinse. Leave to dry. I remove the lid and spray both sides with 409. I let it sit for around 20 minutes then quickly scrub the contact surfaces of the collars. Let dry. Been at 100% success since day one.
These permaclone collars are way more durable and easier to clean than the neoprene ones they come with. With that said, the neoprene ones will last a couple years if cared for also they are way cheaper.
