You tweaking bro? Jesus - I was way ahead of you after midnight and figured you tapped out.
Or maybe the old lady kicks your ass out of bed early when she has to get up to go bring home the bacon?

This is my build for the lettuce competition.
I like to use 5 gallon buckets when building this stuff. I had a lot left over from RDWC. I also like to use these concrete mixing tubs. I rummaged through all of my crap and put this thing together. It's a flood and drain. I didn't have as much hydroton as I thought I did, so I used a touch of perlite. If this will keep perlite out, hydroton will be no problem.
It takes 56 seconds to fill and overflow. At overflow it holds 5 gallons. It then takes 5:54 to drain completely. So I have some messing around to do with timers. I'm thinking of starting with 2 on 20 off.
The bottom has about 8 gallons in it. I made it so that res changes would be a breeze. I fill at the main drain.
