Good chit, mang!!
Higher water temps are annoying but I figure if you stay in longer you achieve the same results.
I bought an ice maker from Depot for $400, you may want to try that. I use a combo of that and frozen cups.
But yeah, speaking of summer plunging, I just ordered a huge (112 gallon) Grizzly brand cooler to serve as the new tub. I think it will be a major upgrade to my current 100gal minimalistic stock tank which has served very well to date but the cooler has the ability to keep ice for approximately 5 days so it should consume less ice and be far more convenient/efficient. Psyched to check it out but not ready to spend 5 g's on a fully automated electric chiller/fridge system.
Brendon ordered one too. He has grown to love plunging.
All you folks who say F all that plunging noise, s'all good but it's not about being crazy to do plunging, virtually everyone who gives it a chance becomes a believer.
