Greetings from Northampton!

Just replace your plastics, and life will be good. I had 2 infected batches, after a solid cleaning/sanitation regiment. I replaced my plastics a few weeks ago (just primary and auto siphon), and life has been far less stressful, with a minimal investment.

I am presently finishing up the first semester of my third year of law school, and already have a post-graduation job lined up. Many of my classmates are in the same boat, as well (albeit many are not). All I can say is "experience, experience experience." I worked a non-paying internship...
