They held off due to rain over the weekend. But it's shiny and beautiful today, and it's plaster day!!
Thanks everyone! I will finally get around to doing some initial water testing today. First day of startup is supposedly today, i'm excited to get some flow and start filtering this junk.
Jim, I just read your thread, well the startup part of it anyway. Wow what a battle, and you killed it. Thanks for the tips, especially the two even scoops of powder vs one "heaping" scoop. I'm an engineer (a black and white guy, as you say), and that part of it was sketchy to me in order to get consistent results.
