next day I came up with this idea to improve the hydro system.
The res goes out of the center, so that the MH bulb doesn't heat the water.

first each girl into a bucket with PHed water. They stay there during all the process

Then I drained and cleaned because of the algae in the bottom of the buckets.

I cleaned tubes and air stones with a mix of water and H2O2. So effective.

System reconfigured, using garden hose, so the reservoir is easier to access and doesn't receives the heat of the bulb.

Those inline can types you're using are prone to getting off balance and making allot noise and can be taken down and mind of adjusted back into balance but it becomes. More trouble that it is worth the money to get one of the larger centrifugal fans.

LOL. Of course it works, but IMO you could improve and simplify your life

I use a bubbler (some call it DWC) to start seedlings/clones, and in a pinch to grow.

I then move the best plants to my DIY Mini-Me F & D, which makes nute changes super simple

Come see it in action
