was really hoping to start it up tonite because I have 4 plants in veg that have been there oh...I dunno how long really but I've put off moving them and they've gotten out of hand, I do want to grow big but I dunno about this big, I guess the bigger the better eh?

jesus the chiller just threw me for a loop, I forgot about it. anybody using one of those? I'll probably use the shitty stock cap pumps that came with the system to circulate the chiller.I suppose just running a piece of tubing into and out of the large hole in the res lid will work, then again I do have a unibit and can drill whatever size hole I might need.

you would want the one for 3/4 but you get the concept. for the chiller im going to to just run a pump in the
res to the chiller and back to the res.

yes exactly, I was just wondering how to secure the tubing , a couple new holes surely wouldn't hurt I guess.

you shouldnt run nutes through a chiller. they make a copper coil to cool resi's with. so you just run RO through the coil and chiller to cool your res. make your chiller last much longer that way

Hmm so the only water in the loop is whats in the lines? No res of sorts?

o sorry you would have another res for the chiller of RO water. if you run nutes through your chiller the salt buildup will eventually ruin it. i cant remember, but i was talking to a friend of mine who swears by chilling his res.(i dont bother unless its really hot) but he said nutes shouldnt be directly cooled in a chiller bla bla bla. i just think the copper coil is much cleaner keeps your nutes in their place and keeps your chiller clean. think of all the slimey shit on your hoses in your res with nutes i wouldnt want that shit to build up in a $500 chiller lol

the chiller has a small res in it and can be easily back flushed with a garden hose, I've done it to my chiller once already but there was really no need, its not like you're ruining the chiller man, at the very most you'll have to remove and clean a internal res in the chiller but chances are you can blow anything clear of the tubing AND the chiller. copper in a res?? I don't think so
Really, wtf is the point of chilling the RO? Are you talking some kind of wort chiller?
