Damn nice setup bro, I'll be following your thread. I'm a big believer in 3/4" plumbing too. It's worth every second spent upgrading.

I'm finishing up on my DWC... I've been trying my best to follow all of the DWC/drip combo grows in hopes that someones skill rubs off on me  I think that its easy to emulate great people and easy to access information when it is presented like this. Thanks again X-C, I'm subscribed.

Hey Pdoub. ,
There is an awful lot of info. on my set up and others in the threads below . Please read these links first , if you still have questions = I'd be happy to help . The entire reasoning , concept , abd part numbers of pump etc... are in Bluebears thread , I kinda helped Doco w/ the recirc. of his system . It's hands down the most important upgrade I've made so far . = equal ppm / ph in all cells , and reduced nute/water temps greatly for me .
Water Farm/DWC club
Crispis' current growings ons .
More pics soon , the hydros roots just now hit the lower 1/2 of buckets and they're taking off . Doubled in size I bet over past 2 days .
Peace E/B
Crispi

Hey MVP ,
The I.D = 3/4in. The O.D = Just a hair over 1" . It's actually more like rubber than vinyl = much more flexable . You ever need a link to parts / supplies cheap holler man .
Hey SocPete ,
I saw what your up to = 
Im always creepin around the site , sometimes to tired or just too high to post though .  I'll def. mark it , keep an eye on it , and help if I can Bro.
Peace guys ,
We might havta get my Sis. Stinky to make this a log soon .

crispi, got any pics of the recirc buckets in action? Am I right that you recirc into the DWC buckets a bit above the water line to get a waterfall effect? I am going to grow some trees this time and have a parts list about half completed but wanna know how you designed your system to recirculate.
Thanks,
MVP
P.S.
HOLLA! I do need a link to parts / supplies cheap

PdoubleOTY - MVP
Here's a cpl. pics. of the mechanics of my system, and of the system recirculating .
The res. is 20 gallons , It's aireated w/ a dual outlet aquarium pump and 2- 6in. airstones . And it's always recirculating unless were checking PH / PPM .
There's about 12 - 13 gal. in the room , and 7-8 in the res.
The larger waterlines = water returning into the system from the res. via. gravity.
The smaller waterline = water from system being pumped back into the res. using a "Via Aqua 302" adjustable pump rated at 120. G.P.H .
Once a day you shut the 2 valves outside the room next to the res. in the black catch pan - the pump will take all the contents of the system and return it all into the res. for PH / PPM check and adjustments . Once the numbers are to my liking - just open the 2 valves and the system refills itself .
MVP - I've only dealt w/ a cpl. stores out your way . I really like the ppl. at "Texas Hydroponics" - they'll match any prices you can link them to , and the cheapest place I've seen most things is Plantlightinghydroponics.com . Wish you were closer to the East coast , The guy from "Liquid Sun" is way way cool  .
Peace guys

Here's a cpl. more current pics.
I managed to burn the piss outa the dirt plants and had to flush them real good yesterday and see how they recover . The hydro plants have some roots in the nutes now and are coming right along .
Reaper - here's a pic. of the algee you sounded concerned about w/ hydro .
I don't let it bother me . Once the plants are huge all the light is blocked and the algee dies . I used to use H2O2 to kill it but can't anymore as I'm using hydrogaurd now .
Weedhound - The righthand plant is W/H mix , The left is the Ghetto Ind. and both are seem to be unbothered by the nute buildup . Exactly what I need = strains that put up w/ my abuse
Later folks
Crispi
