MP DIY - Cleaning an Air Compressor

You'll just need a screwdriver to easily remove the screw. No tricky techniques to it but just be careful that the screw won't accidentally fall off else you might lose it.
After removing the screw, the filter cover should easily come off as well.
The sponge media is the one that filters out the air. You can easily remove it to inspect if it needs cleaning by pulling it out of the filter cover by hand or using a pair of tweezers or clippers.
This sponge media really does need some cleaning work. The dust accumulated hinders free passage of air into the compressor.
Dust apparently accumulated on the air inlet part of the filter cover.
After a quick dusting (you could also wash the sponge with water and dry it out), place the sponge media back into the filter cover. Screw it back and you're done.

DIY Anubias Trickle Farm Update

Hello there pet mates! Welcome back to our blog. Here's a quick update on the DIY Anubias Trickle Farm we made last week. The water level in the reservoir (a non functioning refrigerator which we reused) was dropping pretty rapidly so instead of being convenient, it was a trouble for us to be adding water to the reservoir every morning. The water loss was high because most of the splash from the trickle was not caught by the side of the catch basin but outside of it instead. To resolve the issue, we lowered the trickle pipes and the base platform where the plants was placed. This ensured that the water was mostly recovered and returned to the system. Another problem was with clogging. The holes on the trickle piping often get clogged with algae or other debris so the best way to fix it was by using a screwdriver. Yes, a drill would be a better choice but a screwdriver was more badass! Plus, we got to save up on electricity. Here's the redesigned setup. So far n...
