I used the big boy Drummond for my 55 gallon rez… It did a fantastic job!Why not just get a transfer pump like this:
1/10 HP Transfer Pump 320 GPH
Amazing deals on this 1/10 Hp Transfer Pump 320 Gph at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.www.harborfreight.com
Inflation??.. I got mine back in 2019
Everything else has doubled in price why not a shop vac too
Yeah, I looked on AMZ, and that $370 one is the only one I could find too. Damn!.. I got a bargain! This one is 12 gallons, and it never has more than about an inch of water in the bottom no matter how much water you suck up. It pumps it out as fast as it comes in.
That little bucket wet dry vac is dope. This is what I need. Thanks!I used a shop vac for a long time, and having one is pretty much a must when running hydro. I just use a cheap bucket lid one:
Powerhead Bucket Head Wet/Dry Vac (1.75 Peak HP*)
The Powerhead Wet/Dry Vac, with a 1.75 peak HP* motor and a 1-1/4 in. x 4 ft. hose, is great for smaller jobsite messes. Made to take on dirty, grimy messes that may require instant disposal, the powerhead bucket vacuum is designed for the jobsite or garage for quick and cost-effective cleanup...www.craftsman.com
I really got tired of having to vac runoff all the time though, so found these drain-away trays that work great:
The Drain Away Drain Tray® | Plant Drain Tray
The world's best plant drain tray. Love potted plants but hate the mess? With The Drain Away Drain Tray you can now have beautiful potted plants on your deck, around your pool, or in front of your business without the mess of staining your area with the plant's water run off. Made in the USA!drainawaydraintray.com
I connect 4 of these together in a 4'x4' tent, and have them all drain into a condensate pump, which pumps the runoff out of the tent.

Yeah, don't do that.... you'll get salt built up, and PH lockout. ....IF you're in soil. Waste the runoff.
It's not good in coco either to sit in stagnant, evaporating (high salt) water.
I'm in Happy Frog soil
Yeah - Runoff equals waste. It has the leached salts from your soil in it. I usually take out to the outside plants.
Went to my local grow shop today. They were out of the size I want. Gonna hit up Amazon
Forget Amazon… Walmart has these simple plastic crates for like 1.50.
I forgot Walmart left Portland. Just wasted over an hour trying to find a store with something useful. Decided to flip the trays my pots are sitting on, and poke holes in them. I know it's not gonna be enough airflow, but it's better than nothing for now. I'll go looking again tomorrow. There's a Walmart about 30 minutes from me, I went the opposite direction earlier though
JAYSUS really? I thought there was a Walmart 5 min. from everybody!
