Just mix store-bought battery acid 1:3 with distilled water (1 part acid to 3 parts water). I marked my tank's level to visually see if any evaportaion has occured, and add water as needed.
Remember the three A's... Always Add Acid. Slowly add the acid to the water to avoid boiling up in your face.
Always wear safety glasses too. I have accidently dropped stuff in my tank... ker plunk. Acid -eaten clothes can be replaced... well you get the idea.
Glad to help.

Thanks Acid! looks like niether of us can sleep tonight...
I ordered up everything from caswell tonight. Its not cheap to jump in all the way! I have like $400 into this in less then a week. I know thats not much, but it is just the research phase before the storm. I hope to have a 20-30amp Geocooled^ setup by the time school gets out so i can start making some cash with it.
I have been looking at cooling posts, My take on it is i think i will run a aluminum finned pipe though the tank,out of tank switch it to copper tubing and circulate right out the exterior wall, into the ground a bit, then come back in. that way all i need is a cheap pump while useing the ground for cooling, and keep the pump on a themastat. should be safe as the only thing being pumped will be water. for aggitation i am thinking of using filtered regulated air from my compressor. this is just ideas i have for building into my big tank, could and probabally will change.
What do you think of Geocooling^tm?
I live in the country and have equipent to dig a deep hole in about 5 min so thats not an issue. Also since i havent finished the interior its just to drill a hole in the steel to get outside to dirt.
