Heart what you are doin bro! Glad i found this..lots of reading past couple days! Im have the ebb and gro plus ebb and flow. Which do you like better? Im only runnin 2k. Thought i would do ebb&gro under one and 4x4 flow tray under the other or just both ebb&flow. Also ur spending more on bennies is it worth it over the sterile environment with h2o2 in ebb rez.
Thank you! I actually like ebb buckets and ebb trays equally, but I like that I can grow bigger plants in the ebb buckets. But they both have their perks
I think that the bennies may actually be cheaper. I got a gallon of 29% h2o2 a month or so ago and I use 3ml per gallon 2x a week. So with 100gallons of water, I'd use 600ml each week, so the Gallon of h2o2 would only last 6 weeks.
The bennies only really have to be added 1x as they multiply themselves in the reservoir. I use the same amount per gallon, 3ml, but only 1x a month unless I feel like adding just a little bit back, like 0.5ml per gallon every week or two.
The dry enzymes / bennies will last a year or more I think, I add 1/4tsp 2x a week for 25gallons of water.
The algaefix is used 1x a week at 1/4tsp per 25gallons as well, so 8oz bottle will last a long time.
The hydroguard is about $20 a liter and the pond zyme is about $20 a pound. The algaefix is about $8 for 8oz. The only thing I'll have to buy every few months or so is the hydroguard, and I have a total of 160 gallons of reservoir water to treat
