Looking good! The orange really stands out!

Let me know how the birdsnest does. I may be interested in something like that.

I fudged up today, I got 3 5gal buckets of RO water.. somehow put too much salt in 2 of the 3 buckets. I tested salinity about a half hour after I mixed and it was thru the roof.. what's the best way to fix this?? I have another empty 5 gal bucket I could use somehow, any advice??

Start mixing the plain RO with the saltwater in your extra bucket. Start by putting maybe 2 gallons salty in the empty bucket, then add a gallon of RO. Test. See what it says and go from there until you get the right mix. Good luck! I did that the other day. Thankfully I had more RO and didn't have to go back to the store!

Well that's my problem, I don't have any more RO water lol all I have is the 3 mixed buckets and one empty bucket :/

Set up an outside distillery like they did on survivor man the other day? That was awesome, and effective but he only got about 16 oz of fresh water a day.... If you have a hot enough fire you could get Fresh water faster.

Lmao wouldn't that be something lol

Stupid question but, since I tested the water so early after mixing, should I just keep stirring it up and retest later? Or is it not going to drop?
