Yes, what I get from what I've seen from your pics petflora, actually pushes me towards wanting an accumulator (I mean that respectfully). I've seen the debates in the past and am not here to engage in that, but simply acknowledge that you have worked very dilligently, and probably put alot more work into your system than I will. In the end, you have had alot of trouble keeping root hairs, and the pics I've seen so far aren't the same as the other accumulator based ones I've seen only in regards to roots. This is perfectly fine, and I am by no means trying to strike at your ego or claim overall inferiority- your actual plants look very nice and healthy topside. I am just on a mission to have the best root hairs I can have, with the least amount of maintenance to keep them. It's debateable, but wouldn't you say by now that you've spent a couple hundred on all the little mods you've made to try to gain tighter control over the mist? That's all one would spend to add an accumulator and the extra bits associated with it. All that matters is that one is happy with the results of their setup, and for me I know that means an accumulator. I also appreciate you setting me straight on the pump, I have read otherwise by others including Pod's thread- but I think the Aquatec from reptile basics is specifically made for the abuse. Anyone chosing to not use an accumulator would do good to follow your work indeed, because you have been working very hard at that style for quite a while now, and no doubt have lots of experience in that slightly different approach.
Edit: perhaps it would be good to post a couple side by side root pic comparisons, so people following the thread can see any similarities or differences. Feel free to post a couple pics you consider a good representation of your results, and I will copy a couple from another thread of some accumulator based system roots. Not as a showdown, but just in the name of a good comparitive study so people can decide for themselves what they want... Would you be up for that?
