I wanted to try to build a Aero/Bubbleponic system, here is my design for it.
I chose a 55 gallon drum for a reservoir as you can purchase a 55 gallon drum liner for the drum and making cleaning the reservoir a snap!
I also chose 7 gallon buckets, as to give the roots plenty of room for air, and to hang.
10" Net pots fit perfect on the tops of the buckets with no alteration at all.
I also chose a dual float system that can work both pumps on one float, it can fill, and empty the reservoir all on one switch, and maintain a constant 5" of water in the buckets for the air stones. If the misting adds to much water to the buckets it will pump back into the reservoir.
I also added a Pro Mist R70 unit to run independent, but using the same reservoir.
Do you guys think that this is over kill? Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Since i finally got rid of my ball and chain (Wife), i figured it was time to build my own system!I chose a 55 gallon drum for a reservoir as you can purchase a 55 gallon drum liner for the drum and making cleaning the reservoir a snap!
