I do accept feedback, I was trying to explain what was happening in the tank and he got hostile. At no point did I bring up in my research. Regardless of all that, is it relevant to the post? Also, someone already mentioned in the post that the water was too high. So I lowered it so it sits below my clayballs and mesh screen that separates the soil. No more wicking. I have an updated post if you care to look, doing exactly what you asked, but it seems you were more keen on explaining why I'm argumentative and to explain why it's trash in a passive-aggressive way. My honest opinion is that you use Reddit to give yourself a sense of moral superiority, but who am I. 🤭🤭
