<p>Having the same issue with my revamped Grande at the moment. Except I did use a Goo kit already. Starting to think that Magma Tower needs to put on thier website that an additive to the water for density is necessary to get the wax to rise.</p>

Sorry to hear of another.

<p>My colosuss exploded. It never worked properly. We had it in our attic and would only flow if it was well over 90 degrees. We forgot, left it on over night, and found that red liquid had leaked down through our light fixture to the floor below. We have what I hope is just water and wax all through our attic room where we kept it. It does not smell great. Is that stuff toxic? Does anyone have advice regarding clean up?</p>

<p>I capped them cold. I think you are fine with the stopper. Just be sure to reseal the metal top on tight. The black plastic sleeve holds it all together and is added insurance. Good luck with your filtering.</p>

<p>Did you cap these cold, hot, or warm? I'm about to filter mine and wasn't sure on the capping...I don't want an explosion, nor do I want the top to get sucked in. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I also unfortunately got a small tear in the white stopper on the rim...basically the rim of it started to tear away from the center part that goes down into the neck of the globe...think it'll cause me problems or should I be ok, since it will have the black sleeve over it still and then the other cap?

<p>We pulled an all-nighter (several all-nighters, actually) last year to fix my no flow purple/pink Colossus, Doug. </p>
<p>I hybridized it with Magma Tower goo and added a coil. I did the same thing to my slow flow purple/yellow Colossus -- just used less Magama Tower goo. </p>
<p>They both flow well to this day with the purple/pink requiring more tweaks with the dimmer switch. There are step-by-step instructions somewhere in this thread. LOL</p>

<p>I have a third clear/red Colossus that has been stellar from day one. The clear liquid does get a slight haze from time to time, though.<br/> <br/> <cite>Doug Ditzel said:</cite></p>
