Basic tank tips and tricks....

[debb]

Please post what you find to work for you.....might help those that are not yet familiar with tanks..




I find that not filling my slotted cartos works better for me....I was having flooding issues...now it's all good......I also find it works to keep the slot free of juice by tipping the tank so the air bubble is over the slot when snapping the cap on after filling tank..

The 1/4" self-tapping saddle valve for punching holes in cartos, is the bread for my butter. Works great!

Also, filling tank from threaded end, after pushing carto down inside tank, leaving just enough room for my syringe, works best for me. Less I mess with tank caps the better, IMHO

yep, heard good things about the saddle valve.....I still use my dremel because it works for me....I have added fill ports to a couple of my tanks...not sure yet if I like them better or not...lol

Ohh,, "fill ports" would be really nice. How did you do it? My tanks are comprised of the black delrin with toob, and I have been debating on rather trying to "drill" a small syringe hole through top cap, or not. Not so quick to pull the trigger on that though.

It's amazing how long these tanks extend the life of cartos.. Tanks practically pay for themselves with less cartos used. LuvsIt)

used my dremel to put the fill port in the top of tank..(tube)..then used a "plug" to close port..
