@Cashmeh / @Aqua Man ,
thought i'd put this in different post. i want to start preparation for RDWC. i picked up two 17 gal totes and 1" - feed , 2" - return piping and fittings. bulkheads coming. i wanted to either do 1 tote or 2 if needed for 2 plants. i assume the 17 gal 17x26 is too small for 2 plants? i think the biggest i can go to is the 27 gal. want to dump the 5 gal buckets and go to a square tote/bucket setup. if the 1 tote thought is too small, i may have to go with the buckets i have or a square smaller tote that i can fit two in my space. space now with modification is 30x26 - just for the grow area.
some questions i have.
if i stay with 5 gal buckets, is 17 gal reservoir overkill?
is doing a 17 gal reservoir too much for nutrient upkeep? i assume i would not run 15 gal.
is that 17 gal too small for 2 plants? if so, could the 27 gal work? i think it is 18x30.
i know there are other equipment considerations. i am just curious about the tote/bucket sizing first.
thanks!
