if you click the float switch link you see they have pretty much taken all the work out of building the controller bucket all you do is install that on the line coming from the res into the controller bucket so it hold the flow while pump is on and the controller bucket is full. then that pump turns off and pump inside controller bucket comes on later to drain it.
actually i think i will be running it kinda of in a hybrid fashion with long periods of submersion like DWC.

like a needle valve float switch? I dunno that I'd trust those, this these cap controllers have run flawlessly . I did a kinda rdwc with a controller bucket and igloos , just cycled pack to the main res every couple hours. worked out pretty good. flooding is a problem here since the basement is finished, I haven't had a problem with that due to the controller.

rough draft....lol is this something you would be interested in, computer drafted? or are you looking for hand drawn.
again this is just a quick rough draft.

this just popped into my high- ass brain (could be awesome... or not)
here's a mental picture.
Use Simon Cowell's X Factor logo as a guide
(I tried to highlight in specific colors, but they did not come out)
Place the word Brand in front, the X behind (Brand becomes an overlay), but the X is a minimum of 4 times Brand font size.
Brand in red
X in black with a flame background. The X should jump out of the red and yellow flames
Only the X would be slightly tilted, like italics
Now what about the word Seeds? I'm thinking in the lower right hand corner of the label, Small, but not too small
Psychology: People will be attracted due to subliminal association with X Factor
Next, they will be curious to know what Brand X is (since it is intentionally NOT obvious) and scan the label for a clue... People tend to scan left to right, top to bottom (all the time their brain keeps asking WTFII?)
which, eureka, they find in the lower right hand corner in smaller type but easily legible. Maybe a bright yellow Seeds so as to not get lost in the flame background
As you can see not good with a white background, but juxtaposed off red flames will jump out
Ouch, ouch, ouch... my heads hurts from all this creativity

@brute; thats a pretty good label brute, not my style but definitely a step in the right direction, cause i do like that font. i dont really care for it have a big ol mj leaf, thats not brandX. i will have to think on what represents Bx as far as an icon.
@petflora; im thinking about using the words genetics overs seed, because thats what im selling, the seed are just what hold them anybody can sell seeds but only the few sell genetics.
as for flames not my style at all ive had some goes at adding flames and twisting the words out of them, but i want something simple clear and concise.
i saw the X factor lable and its a good X but that part of my words really isnt that important i need an X i will be able to scale down for my shorthand version of the brandX name Bx genetics.
i throw another pic up of some more styles ive been working on in the other thread here in a day or 2. if you guys go back a few pages you will kinda see what im looking for.

oh and now i see what your saying pet flora have "brand" overlaying a big font "X" ive though about that. ill keep it in mind, i agree its bold and would make a statement, but i was thinking that style of lable wasnt classy enough ill see what i can make of something like this.

how about something like this?
the X is actually a image of a chromosone i can get it to a better resolution with some more tinkering but no sense in spending time on something you arent interested in

moi perfect!
i like this remover your version of brand lower the chromosome to center bottom. then i can print and i can draw the brand part in and scan back to the comp! i like this idea very much.
although i wish all it where a different color, blue is okay...

or i could combine the chromasome idea with what petflora was saying and overlay "BRAND" over the enlarged X chromasome.

i can do whatever color you want m8
i just thought that this image was nice.
is the DNA strand a bad color or the background?

can you change the chromasome too?
i like black and white, its cheaper cleaner, classier more scientific.(maybe some red? blue is okay too just not dominating the whole thing, orange, yellow is okay too but it would just depend on how its used.)
i sound picky as hell right now haha, im sorry guy, i dont mean to be, just keeping coming at me with ideas i definilty like what im seeing, if anything its a good inspiration!

ok ihave a vision, ill work on it later. Im definatly not the best with computer design but should have something decent for you sometime tomorow. takes a while to get shit in place and looking correct.
