hi guys, i've recently put a plant into a space that doesnt really allow me to take the top off the bubbler to adjust the levels

so i came up with this idea, its a pain in the arse for space, and doesnt help for stealth, but saves me moving my girl around

im using a square tank as well for the bubbler, even though it has a single plant lid on it, and i find adjusting and stirring the mix is alot easier in a round resevoir

i went && purchased a black 30L round container with lid, and placed a small hole in the lid so it could breathe, then did the following (sorry for the lack of mad mspaint skillz and poor explanation)




basically when i need to add or adjust the nutrients i can put the bucket on the ground and the mix runs into it, once adjusted i can just lift the bucket onto the table and the mix will go back into the bubbler. both holes have grommets & the hose is flexible, ive yet to have any leaks, although i think ive only had to check it 4 times so far

primitive shitty idea i know, i could even make it easier with my hydraulic foot operated motorbike stand ;-)

That's a GREAT idea for tight, hard-to-get-to spots, especialy when the plants get up into the lights and you don't want to move them.

you may want to get a screen or something for the hose to keep the roots from going into there
