eh; a little different than a plain old recirculating dwc... and this is coming from someone who ran bio-buckets before; cost for the system is comparable to say the least; now i've never ran blaze1's or krusty's buckets but someone else can chime in... that aside the undercurrent is just that... a really strong current running under the surface of the water like a stream; if u saw the roots that mashup posted after his cut you'd notice that it filled the entire 8 gal bucket with no dead zones... the buckets sit lower and hold more water than a traditional 5gal bucket too boot...the connections really can't have fewer bends; sorta like a really nice intercooler piping for a turbo'd car, and you get maximum flow... each bucket actually has a small channel running along the bottom so if you stick your hand it the water is really moving even at the end of the run.
if you want to diy i think that the uniseals are a key component but once you start buying them all at retail; the airpump; waterpump; fittings; connections; hoses; etc.. you don't save a whole lot and i think you'd have a hard time finding a better dwc bucket than the one provided... i'm still tripping that it actually holds 8 gallons
have you seen the diameter of the pipes connecting the buckets? what else out there compares to it when it comes to waterflow?
let me know; i may buy one of em to try out too.. i got tired of root rot because of light leaks in my last dwc but i've decided to give it another go... i'll try to be as unbiased as possible btw
