Do you always have your water level set at that depth?Im working on a design now to get rid of airstones all together but the problem is when the root mass gets large you wont have any surface area to waterfall onto.I have seen other peoples designs but trying to figure out how to waterfall in a bucket cramped with roots is a challenge.MAybe a baffle to keep the roots over to one side and the waterfall spraying downward.Im still working on it.
Yes on this run cause i want to see if its better to have a bigger air gap
but i can take it all the way to the tees
Thats why i have a 900gph pump i dont need stones but i have them xause im running
Stable ph
At 72 degress f ! No smells in my buckets either
Im going to post a vid on my design tomorrow
Trust me man i got a handle on how stuff works
I saw from everyone elses design
2 return pipes. This means more uni seals more leaks more holes ect ect.
I wanted a SIMPLE and EFFICIENT design that i didnt need a 50 gal res to run.
My sytem probably flows with the BEST.
(For homemade)
Root mass and getting dissolved oxygen through the mass are the challenges.
Well see when the run is done
