Flood tank flush rework

Flush mechanism as flood tank fills

Though hard to see in this photo, there is a black hose attached to a white plastic elbow which allows water to flow into the counter-weight bottle when the water in the flood tank reaches sufficient height.

I made this change because the previous setup was too sensitive.  This is less of a surgical solution and more of a “hit it with a hammer” fix.  It works really well.

I haven’t gotten the second grow bed tray installed.  I’ll get there . . .
