Well Water
I’m just trying to make a point. I’m sick of asking a question only to have someone not read before replying. People are more than capable of reading and asking for clarification when it is needed - if not they shouldn’t be bothering to reply as it is as much a waste of their time as mine to go on and on about something that isn’t pertinent to the current situation.
I am moving almost 600 miles. I have other things that need to go in my car (such as a dozen houseplants, the tank, my clothing, my dog, etc) that will be taking up quite a bit of room. Even two 5 gallon buckets would take up a considerable part of my sub-compact - I can fit a few gallon jugs in the nooks and crannies, but not enough to take the whole tank’s worth of water. If I happened to already own a few 5 gallon buckets, I’d send them with the movers - but as I don’t and I don’t have any spare money to get them, that isn’t going to work. The lack of the buckets is one of the main reasons why Lenny’s drip method, although ideal, may not work for me either. That’s why I’m still thinking about acclimating them while in the cups.
