Here is an aero system I made using 4 inch PVC.
6 inch PVC is very expensive
and the 4 inch saves a lot of money.
I use a Danner 1250 gph mag drive pump for the spray jets,
and a Rio 600 gph pump for the chiller/waterfall.
Here are the pics.
I started with a 10 foot joint of 4 inch PVC
and a 18gl Sterlite tub
I used bulkhead fittings to mount the pumps outside of the rez.
With the 4 inch tube the 3.5 inch net pots won't work,
but the 2 inch with neoprene work great.
The float valve is connected to the blue tub RO rez.
and this RO rez has a small float valve
that connects it to the RO machine
I took some cuts from a Thai cross mother
and put them right into the neoprene
and started spraying them
with 200ppm AN sensiGrow @ 5.6 and 74ºf
In a few days we had lift-off.
Now I upped the nute load to 400ppm @5.6pH
and lowered the rez temp to 66º
At the next rez change I went to 600ppm
and kept it there for the rest of veg time.
Here is the waterfall
from the chiller pump.
The lights are two 400watt HPS.
Hoping to add more.
I flipped the lights to 12/12 last week.
More pics to follow.
