Hi Everyone,
Testing my first tank. I'm using the balloon method. I was having a hard time getting the balloon sealed properly so I used a piece of 3/8 tubing over the vent tube fitting with hose clamp and then zip-tied the balloon on. After some pieces of electrical tape, it seemed to not be leaking anymore.
I did the kids bubbles test twice with no signs of leakage. The balloon deflates over a period of 3-4 hours but never fully deflates, it just has a light pressure on it. If I squeeze it, it deflates and then goes back to the same size.
Anyone else experience this? I just want to make sure I'm sealed so I can build on.
Thanks for the input!
