1800 Watt Bio-Shed

[Rattrap]

For air stones in the buckets i use the 1 foot long flexi bubbliers. They are black & about a 1/2inch thick. They give out nice fine bubbles & never seam to block & are real easy to clean & also don't seem to disintergrate like most other air stones. I curl them into a circle so they sit nice & flat in the bottom of the buckets, 1 per bucket. 1 dual output air pump per 2 buckets, just the standard aquarium ones.
With summer in full swing down here & the addition of another 600w light i've been having some heat probs too. My res peaked at 32c at one stage. I installed a fan to blow on the res & that droped the temp by a good 5-6c. Plus i bought 3 cooltubes & that has brought my res temp back down to around 23c even tho the room temp gets up over 30c.

EULOGY- yep looks like Truth just left us hangin. oh well. no light leaks from what I can tell.

LOOTPIMPIN- finaly someone comments on the grandaddy.

CABANETTFORESTER- my ambient room temps are usualy arround 72-76 degrees with lights on and the res rarely gets over 70 degrees. I could also lower this dramaticaly if I wanted just by turning up the exhaust fan for the lights. so no need for a chiller. if you check out my new thread in the GROW DIARIES section you'll see that I have added air stones and a commercial grade air pump. the air stones I bought were $20 a piece but well worth it. I'm prety sure that low DO was the only real problem and that has deffinately since been taken care of.

RATTRAP- yea I actually have 2 of those. I didn't have enough money on me at the time to buy 9 $20 air stones, but they seem to seem to work fine. anyways check my new thead since this one is dead, hopefully along with the rot.

Well...

How did this run do?

Did you bring the plants to harvest? Is so, what was your yield?

Well this was 2 grows ago, but I lost everything to root rot. I have since set up a new system and am taking clones right now for my current grow.
