For sure Neumann the Ebb n Grow was actually what gave me the inspiration to begin designing my Rdwc around. Helped a buddy build a 12 bucket system in less than an hour n he's gettin awesome results. If I could afford the control unit and Ebb n Grow bucket kit id snatch one up rite now and just leave it on a constant flow and maybe lower the in and outakes a bit to keep the top third of the roots from getting drowned. But I'm sold on the unit just can't afford it as of yet. Basiclly the system I am thinking of really is just a bucket style of NFT kinda I'm really just tryna put it all together to maxx the best of all the dro methods at once. I'm gonna study this diagram u put up. Really do apprechiate everyones input and knowledge and for throwin down in this thread on the real. Much grow love all.

Here's a quick sketch of a style I like, it feeds fresh water into the controller to make up for water loss, constant recirculation and aeration in each bucket. Bucket aeration is optional but if not aerated more flow should be used. The lines are only located above and below the buckets in the drawing for clarity.

Thanks man, I know it was a hassle. Your cooler res is cool too.
My rig is so limited the only logical place to put the res is out side of my cab and that is defeating the purpose of the thing in the first place. I can make it work but I will loose more of my camouflage.....and unfortunately that is a big factor....
Hey DL I look forward to what you come up with I know it will rock .....and much grow love to you too Broski....

Ok, I found Heath's "autocad" plans here for two different systems. I use the one labelled "Setup 2" No "ball cock" (float valve) for me though. I just manually add more water/nutes to the control bucket as it goes down.

Okay so basically....I need to ask the water pump question lulz. I checked over quite a few threads on here as well as google, but theres so many choices. I know you want a pump with a decent PSI output so your water droplets are the optimal size(if you plan on using sprayers) but there are sure to be popular brands. I just checked out some Danners, Hydrofarms, and some Active Aquaz as well as some commercials. Hmm...decisions. I would only wanna do like a max of 4-6 5gallon buckets or equivalent. I was thinking a 400GPH pump perhaps would do the trick? I already have 4 Tetra Whisper 60G air pumps with dual-ports so air is taken care of...whats evrybody rocking these days?? I aint trying to nickel and dime myself to death replacing shitz either lulz
