Stands are Sick clean as hell looking my question is where is the cage going to go?? From experience I find anything smaller than having the cage wrapped around the whole outside of the mini res to be a restricter rather than a helper. Have you planned how to attach the cages yet??
Regenerative blowers are awesome since they don't blow hot air in your water they just blow room temperature air. I know RMCG picked up a sweetwater regen blower maybe he'll chime in about how he feels about his. He also posts a video of one in action, IMO badass
So I cancelled the air pump and bought a whitewater ww 60 and this thing blows a ton air. I will let you know when I get it hooked up.
The cages a made a frame that extends 2" on each side of the lid. I'm almost done making all of them and will have them painted soon, I'll post a pics as soon as they are done.
If you worried about the hot air place the pump outside the room...Will make sure your not blowing CO2 into the water...
Those individual air stones/diffusers are beneficial...You will notice the roots growing into/towards these apparatuses...
Love to see more pics of the overflow/returns...Clean setup...
You going to top feed????How many GPH will be devoted to each bucket....

Yes my pumps will be Outside the room, I talked to a friend that ran this same system and he told me to make my own diffuser with PVC. Has anyone done this?? I will be getting a 1200 gph for ten plants, with two feed lines to a 8" ring around the plant. I will post more pics this weekend when I finish the plumbing.
Thanks
