Hey ICers,
Yes its another bio-bucket system, well why the hell not they kick ass!
I'm running a 6 bucket system with 3 white heaven clones (2 standard & 1 feminisied) & 3 Celticstone. They are currently under just the 1 x 600W HPS tho i'll be adding a second one real soon as well as changing the HPS globes over to MH conversion globes as soon as i get my hands on a couple.
The pump i'm using is an internal 3900LPH. I've timed my buckets & they fill in just 2 1/2 minutes, so that works out at turning over at a rate of about 24 times an hour.
At the moment i only have a very small waterfall effect, about 3" but i'm also running a couple of flexy airstone tubes in there as well to help make up for the loss in waterfall height. The reason for this is that my veg room has a VERY low roof & my flower room is currently in use.
I'm using a 19mm inlet & a 32mm outlet that then feeds into a 80mm main drain. I also added a screw up connector on the 19mm inlet so that i can easily remove a bucket without shutting down the system at all.
i'm also using the black lava rocks rather than the recomended red ones because i couldn't find a source of the red ones anywhere in my area & believe me i looked! Come monday i plan to buy some silver backed tape to light seal all my drain hoses.
OK, now to some pics.
