  2. Yes a pressure gauge is a very handy addition. I added one on mine as it allows me to quickly check at a glance that the mains pressure is where it should be and will indicate if a leak ever occurs.

  3. The one Chris has and posted is very good value and comes with everything you need. I doubt you'll find ones much cheaper than that, and if you do I'd be dubious of their quality.

  4. It is extremely rare to see snow here since I live close to the coast, perhaps once or twice in the entire winter we wake up with a bit of snow after a cold wave, but by midday it is all already gone. It is not easy to find Neps that can endure both highland and lowland temps. That peristome looks promising Your summer hot nights are the temps we have in the winter during the day lol. Where did you see the clones with the dark peristomes? I've seen pics of Ventricosax Hamata with reddish pitchers, but not with dark peristomes. Both clones I have look very similar.

  5. They really look like that pic from Borneo Exotics with the frog inside, right? According to my experiments from last year, N. Hamata can take up to 28~29c but above that they will start to lower their lids. The problem for me is that were I live night temps can be up to 26c in the worst weeks... even after lowering their night temps with ice packs they ended up being stressed. When the tank is close to the AC it can keep the temps inside around 19c, hope that is enough, at least they grow with those temps in spring and autumn. The things we do for these plants. I tried a few times to grow N. Burkei without any luck, but I really like it. And attempting N. Burkei x Hamata was a disaster for me I wanted them because of their darker coloration, but the Ventricosa cross had been way easier in the end.
