buildup for 8+1 RDWC with Hefty 7.7 hinged trash cans from BigLot

Might get Thinkgrow model-H so i can mess around with the moving cloud when its paired to the HS-2 thing but will probably get HLG Scorpion Diablos for lights. I scored a Heinz pickle barrel (still had some pickles in it) and its turning out to be a very acceptable tank-it was easy to install a toilet float valve kit only took 1 zip tie. Going with Trolmaster HRS-2 for my Electric Brain Slave (EBS) Just to the right of the RO tank is reserved for Co2 hardware. Could not find a proven wall mount direct connect humidifier so I am building one with a 3/8 float valve and 6 head fogger float kit. 25 years old hydroponics local store went out of business everything 50% off I scored an 8 port Active Aqua air 25 for $35 a Active Aqua Bomba 800 submersible pump $35 and all the 1/4" air hose I need for $10. The one thing that is killing me is the cost of bulkheads current culture 2" are $12 each and I need 17 that's 200 clams for bulkheads damn. Also considering a GrowBright OctoCloner 8-Site bucket cloner.

Made/deployed the direct connect humidifier and Inkbird IHC-200 got the tote at Meynard's and the plumbing at home depot the one thing I had to get at the local specialty hardware store (instead of Amazon) was this (brass pic). three eights plastic float valve male end to three eights reverse osmosis ice make style tubing. I moved the screw clamp off for the pic. After 2 tries failing with toilet float valve kits because they were too tall, I went back to the original three eights float valve from Amazon.
