I think it could go a few more months before cleaning.
Sincerely,

The water looks clear, get a catfish to clean the bottom and I think you will be all set!

Derek,

Do you do those miniature ships in bottles too?!?

Where's Liam (skiing, no doubt)? Surely he'll want to comment on this wonderful photo!

Oh my goodness, Linda. I would like to take credit for that pun, but I suspect it was no coincidence that Derek chose that sea motif.

I was simply acknowledging what I thought was an extremely clever visual pun---okay, a brilliant visual pun. Wish I had thought of it!!!

And you were brilliant!!!

You are brilliant in everything you write, regardless of how I rib you.

To my astonishment, my "respiratory therapist" told me that I never have to clean my humidifier. When I looked quizzically at him, he said, "Well, you can rinse it out from the top once in a while." Hmmmmmm. I am looking for third opinions. The second opinion is my own that bacteria grow and that thing is going to be serviced more often that once in a while, maybe.
Have a super day.

Sharonius,
But look what happened to mine, and it's just four weeks and one day since I purchased it...

Derek,

I think you better get a longer hose if that plant's only been growing four weeks. Or is this a new hydroponics secret?

derek,

That photo of yours is so cool, and so clear.....you should sell it to the manufacturer of the humidifier, so they can use it in their advertisements! You could make big bucks!
