casing layer question
    #7785774 - 12/21/07 02:23 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

im about to put a caing layer on my 2 monotubs. they are both 22 gallon tubs approx. 22" long by 12" wide with a substrate depth around 4 - 4.5" deep.

i was wondering how many qrts of casing material i should make up to apply a casing of 3/4" or so on both tubs.

thanks guys

my guess would be two quarts..
What's left over can be spread out thin to dry, and stored in the jar, or in a ziplock bag to be pasturized later for use.

so i started off with 10 cups of each and added 1 cp of gypsum and 1/2 cup of hydrated lime to the moss and hydrated it and now it smells like that shit you put in you hair when you perm it.

is it supposed to smell like that?

i dont have ph strips so i dont know what it is. i dont want to mess these mono's up with an acidic casing layer.

anybody have any input on the smell i described of my casing or if i can freeze my leftover material?

my wife said the casing smelt like fish to her. im assumimg its the lime. im only worried because its my first time using lime and these mono's are looking great and i have the material pastuerizing right now.
