By the way, Im runnin bout 80 gallons of nutes. Is a 400 gph pump big enough? Im pretty numeriologically challenged and I broke a sweat and got nauseous when I tried to figure it out. My cyferin determined it might be a bit small but could just bout work?

Im a bit confused bout what size fan to get to exchange the air in my room too. Its bout 1000 sq ft. I was gonna get something like a 400 cfm fan and put it on a timer to evacuate the room at intervals. It would be nice tho if I could get a fan the rite size to run at a 15 minute interval because most timers have 15 minute increments.

Hello. Please have a good idea how you stand RDWC to give good change tee?

no offense but this looks like a big pile of donkey dump.This is not a recirculating system.the lines that come off the buckets cant recirc without a pass through.the water is just going around the middle bucket.the water needs to go thru the buckets.Sorry but this is a terrible design and overcomplicated.besides the lines are to small.My roots would clog those 3/4 inch pipes before i hit flower.Pipes shoub be 1 1/4 min.

heres one that works 10 times as good and half the parts.200 in buckets and pipes and 1 1/2 pass throughs.them bulkheads in your diagram are retarded expensive. Heres a 3 bucket design and 2 bucket that recircs through a water chiller to boot.

Thanks for sharing your improved and enhanced version of a system design over a decade old. Pat yourself on the back, I will put up a new model soon and you will not be so impressed with yourself. Thanks for making me realize that this really old system didn't recirculate all the water pumped from the controller just spilled over the buckets until the res drained dry and the plants died. Funny Stuff, You could have posted your updated version without making yourself out to be an asshat.

Here is some examples of the result this really outdated setup can produce, Let's see what you can do with a much better system. Now let me go let my doggies take a dump while I smoke and laugh at your lame insult, Like I said you could have shared your modified version without such hatred, but hate on enjoy your improved system.

Really appreciate the time to break down and simplify a complicated set up.

Bravo.
