Ebb and flow

Lighting:

4- 20 gallon Ebb and flow style trays
2- 340 CFM inline fans sucking OUT
1- Dual fan sucking IN at 450 CFM
2- 50lb Charcol filters inside an enclosed box
2- 170 GPH Little Giant water pump
6- air stones (3 per resivior)

I have 2 room fans. A large square room fan and a smaller round wall mount oscilating fan.

Is there anything you guys think I need or should have? Comments please, good and bad.

Wow thats pretty cool. Me and my friend are trying to set up something like this in one of the bedrooms in his new house. How much money did you spend on everything alltogether? & did you construct the ebb & flow table yourself or did you purchase it?

We were looking into buying rubbermaid storage bins and making an aeroponics system. But this looks and seems quite easier...

Well, my dad put up all the cash, about 3500 for EVERYTHING... lights, ballast, trays, timers, wiring, tubing, pvc and fitting, 2x4, plywood...

I have put the room together myself. My advice on the table (which I made, and I am no wood worker) get the trays, measures them, add about a 1/2 in. on all sides and just go from there. If you are going to follow my setup, a 2x2 tray setup. its best to put (2) 2x4 to seperate your trays, one for each tray side by side. You can email me if you need more help, but thanks for the kind words and good luck with your system.

Thats fuckin awesome. When are you starting your seeds? I am so anxious to see the system work. I think I might just have to ask you to describe to me in detail how to make the ebb & flow after I see the rate of growth. I'm kinda excited lol. We've been looking for a good setup for about a month now... and this seems perfect. Same room size as yours and everything.

Good luck I'll totally be watching your grow!

Just built the cloing, juvenile room. Should finish in the next couple days cause my HID lights are on order. I ordered a 1 lamp T5 HID 24 for the clone clippings. and a 4 lamp HID T5 for the juvies.

The box will be divided in twol The top is for the clone clippings with the 1 lamp T5. The bottom is an ebb and flow system for the larger juvies. 4 lamp T5.
