Thanks so much bro! Good looking out, as to the primer,I'm thinking it's not science,but when it comes to possibly leaking water all over your stuff,you can't be too careful lol

Exactly that. 3/4 thread with 1/2 barb.

Used Sch40 PVC and these bulkheads from Amazon
CPR Aquatic BHCPR200SSx4 2" Slip x Slip

My grow space is a 5x5 space with 2 totes connected on each side and a connector pipe from side to side. The last tote in line has a 1.5" bulkhead connected to the 700gph mag-drive pump outside the totes and then a 3/4" line running a 'u' around the room's perimeter back to the 1st tote and a pair of waterfalls. I used clear silicone sealant on the pipe joints so I can break down the system for cleaning. It's a really simple system, I don't even have a chiller in this system(got one for next year) that will grow a huge amount of flower.

The crosses I used are all slip, I just used 3/4 slip x 1/2 thread bushings, also from Lowes.

I forgot to mention that my system doesn't use a 'control' rez. All that I'm doing is connecting 4 large DWC totes together, sucking nutes from one tote and dumping them back in the first tote. That does two things-aerates the solution and induces a small height or pressure differential across the connected totes and solution flows through each tote and root mass back to the end rez. Like I said it's really simple and seems to be very effective.

Oic! Thanks dude, man,hydro is more engineering than plant-husbandry.

Thanks
That's the Aurora I'm currently waiting for her to finish. She completely fills a 2x3 area-makes it a bit challenging for me to navigate with my prosthetic leg. I had a light failure about a month ago-thought I had a driver failure but finally found a wiring fault-not a fun job for this cripple to snake through a sea of colas to rewire, hence the mess of hanging wires...

This is her trunk-it's as big as my wrist and I'm a big guy...

Yeah that seemslike a simple way to go.
That's awesome dude,those ladies are huge. Have they been harvested yet or is that your current run? If harvested what was the yield?

It's just a few pipes and fittings really simple. I'll be doing a journal when I startup my new system after my current run is finished, some new genetics I'm trying out should be good

She's still running-I thought that it was getting close but she has done a major spurt this week so I'm still waiting.
