Good point. Cycle it through the acid stage and then into a holding/settling tank, then cycle it through again for the base stage. Yes, with a little extra plumbing, that'd be doable. It wouldn't be truly "continuous", but so what? That way you don't have to build a second OFM. Come to think of it, isn't this what the people building the automatic single tank processors are doing, basically? That way you don't have to build an OFM at all, just use a tank. Hmmm...
