would you be able to show me an example? this is a form of venturi effect right?
i had a pump in there doing a waterfall method but it was raising the temps too high. maybe i should use a smaller pump?? got a recommended pump? yes it is drain to waste in coco. putting hydroguard in for temporary measures. i know it doesnt need to be a massive pump since its just a res tank and not dwc
what kind of time schedule/pump do you recommend?
I don't know enough to make a suggestion. Especially for such a large res.
Have you just thought about not going through the trouble? I mean your roots are getting good oxygen in coco. Drain to waist is built on feed and aerate. It’s kind of like when people add stones to an ebb and flow Res. Why. I say just skip it. If you feel like you want to, could put a small inline pump outside the res and pump back in.
wouldnt the nutrient mix go stagnant if i didnt have some form of water movement or aeration? i know it doesnt need much however.
What reservoirs are you using? Not sure why you need to aerate a rez thats being used for dtw. All you really need is a small pump to circulate the feed in the rez to keep things mixed. If the pump is creating too much heat then put on a cycle timer.
what brand did you go with? i know water just needs to move, its not like DWC so theoretically i could just get a small pump to waterfall to the top of the res just to create movement.
no its not recirculating, its simply a reservoir to hold my nutrients that is 165 gallon, its top feed to my plants in coco. (drain to waste)
this is my setup, i was reading i guess i dont need airstones because the process of feeding oxygenates the water. so you recommend a small pump just to keep the water moving? like a waterfall method basically? got a pump reocmmendation?
yea it lasts a maximum of 2 weeks. like 2 weeks in young veg phase, and like 4 days in flower lol
you think that same pump would be sufficient in my 165 gallon? i really only keep 150 gallons in it? and do you notice any heat increase in your res? i know i can get up to 76 but i would like to keep it below 74 tbh. and do you keep it on 24/7? i sure appreciate your input by the way!
