Post by: Larson88 on May 21, 2010, 07:57:20 PM

what do you guys think is the best i here a lot of good about a closed system... Last longer supposily???
what is the benefit to a open system?? that is what everyone is building it seems like why would you want to add water manually once a week? or even every month??

I second the open system, never any concerns nor loss of water.
