what you built was exactly what i was looking for. Its a BIO BUCKET/UC RDWC HYBRID. you have the ability to not use airstones and opt for the waterfall affect(bio buckets). The only flaw with the bio buckets is you have to empty each bucket individually. The UC system has the pipes running at the bottom so to empty the system all you do is run the pump line to a drain. you solved that problem by making a hybrid that looks like the UnderCurrent but with waterfalls and no airstones. The best of both worlds.

hey man in future u should really keep that lower area free of all the dead leaves. im big on leaving my fans on until the plant sucks all the nutes out of them but having all those dead leaves hanging down there is asking for trouble imo. mould and rot will take hold on those dead leaves and will quickly jump onto your living stuff. i know at the stage your at now it probably wont make any difference just letting you know because i have seen it happen

Hey forgetitwasere, as soon as i took that photo i removed 2 bin bags worth of stuff, and swept out the floor i keep it as sterile as possible, i treat my grow like a lab, thanks for the heads up though, but theres not a bit of unhealthy plant in sight now :)

yeah i nearly wasnt even going to bring it up because everything looks so tidy and professional i figured you would know already but sometimes people just never learn these things because they have never had that particular problem so it goes left unchecked until the day something goes wrong.

sorry for being a doubter lol
