How can I make an air inlet port? PP tubing?
    #23801060 - 11/04/16 04:09 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I'm trying to make an air inlet port to aerate a LC. I know it's not necessary, but I'm doing it anyway, I don't need to be told that. My thought is to use polypropylene tubing, silicone glue them into PP lids, stuff it with a polyfill filter, and hook it up to an air pump. My only concern is that the silicone will not hold so I'm hesitant to invest in the tubing since it's kind of pricey. Does anyone think this will not work or have a better suggestion? Thanks.

You should use sand paper to roughen up the PP.
I recommend a syringe filter for LC.

I thought of a syringe filter too, I was going to use one as an outlet actually, but how would I connect tubing to that? I was going to run a test before innoculating anything to make sure it's sterile.

Not sure I'd trust the polyfil.
I used to put the air pump inside a sealed box that had filtered air inlets, so the pump was only receiving filtered air...and then you could run that into your polyfil filter and LC if you insist on it.

I'm interested in Dr. Pollock's work and his (especially older) strains.
Anyone have pix of his Shroommobile RV??
