420 I started exactly the same. A 6 inch hole saw and big sewer pipe. Net pots. I never have bought a system. I did like the tubes but it was hobby amounts and I need to produce. I have a titanium back and can't carpenter like I used too, so it's what keeps food on table and power on. Draw backs were it is only for small plants and seed to harvest runs. I did run 3 pipes and tried to do perpetual harvest. But over all I dint like how they all grew into a massive root tube and if too big, I had flood issues due to roots. Uc dwc, rdwc all one in the same in mine and I think it shows over just one method. Maybe I waste electricty too on the redundant systems? In my opinion my hybrid system is really the same as urs, but way bigger, easier to inspect or work on independently but far more expensive to run. My grow is alive with the hum of electricty and pouring water...music that soothes my soul.
