UV
So I noticed that you were using a UV filter. I am currently testing one on my empty 16 site UC. When ever I fill the uc with water without using h202 or Physan20, 2 days later water is cloudy with some type of alge bloom which infects the plants roots bla bla bla. I know how to fix it after it occurs but Im trying to prevent it. And so far I am loving the uv. I filled the UC plain water 2 days later it had the herpes, ran the UV cleared it up in 24hrs. I drained, cleaned, and refilled it Im running a 18w UV it has been 4 days now and it is still crystal clear.
I have been reading that the uv has some effect on the nutrients, but haven't found any documentation for rdwc. What's your take on the UV? I read through a couple of your threads maybe I missed it.
Do you run it 24/7? I was thinking maybe a timer or running it for 4 or so hours after I do a water change before adding fresh nutes.
I am going to start a new uv thread soon and post my results.
Love your grow btw, "most impressive"

Oh yea, The herpes I get does the backstroke in DM zone at 2ml/Gal.
