Looking good, I'm working on something similar and it looks like we got the same rez, 15 gallon (57liter).

Good luck with the clones and getting it up and running.

Not really sure bout root problem yet i havent ran into that as off now i had an aeroflo2 the last time i grew and never ran into that problem so we will see i will address that problem when it pops up i guess lol...............Here are a shot of the clones i got to deal with now lets see what i can do with these babys........

Your system looks almost exactly like the first one I built! I have had great service with this type of system. One thing I did different on my later models is mounting my feeder manifold externally. I made that change after I had some sprayers plug up during the grow which cause all kinds of trouble. I also use a chiller and I filter both the water circulating through the chiller and the water feeding the sprayers. Here's a picture of my setup.DSCN0065.jpg

Thats nice bro would love to see more pics and how did you do your drain set up .........Yeah i am gonna do my feeding tube on the outside ne=xt time for sure i did away with the sprayer heads and just drilled holes 1/16th in feeding lines i tried sprayer heads as well and had same problem.So i just used the old AEROFLO 2 design as much as i could and just winged the rest lol

nice view. The way I deal with temperature is using igloo coolers as a res and cycling any pump involved.
