Do less bins on your first run and use 1 HiBlo 80...You'll spend less on power, nutrients, and equipment..but still be doing something to get somewhere and not pressure the wallet...
Last run I used 1 eco 7 on 16 bins...Seems to work fine...
This run 2 eco 7 for 18 bins....Seems to be working better....
Honestly if i were to do it again I dont think I would buy anything ecoplus...Just dont trust the brand...
They are a 1/3 of the price of most big air pumps...The unit runs a little warm, but i dont have anything to compare it to....Cool thing is you can leave the unit in the room and add a (snorkel) hose extending out of the room...
Dont let these guys talk you into going smaller....My first RDWC was a MPB run of 16k and 16 bins pulled around a lb per light.....
The system is pretty easy and as long as you dont skimp on the important things (chiller and a/c) you should do alright.....

Thanks you for the reply... answered all my questions.
What are your thoughts on ecoplus chillers? I heard good things about them before I decided on buying it. I am running a 1/2hp chiller. I was planning on running a 1200gph pump with it but I hear the slower you pump through the chiller the easier it is to maintain lower temps? Might compare it to a 750 pump i got laying around someplace.
Do you notice any hot air coming out of that comp7? what type of air stone were you using and how big are your bins?
Any help is much appreciated brother... seems like the mpb area of the farm is slowing down.
We bought the jbj chiller...Like I said before I dont know if i am a big fan of ecoplus...
As far as pumping the water through the chiller (fast or slow) we have a 2 ton chiller and run 3100 gph with 8' of head so I cant tell you what the actual gph's are...
The com 7 probably runs a little warm but the air comes from outside the room via a snorkel that runs through the unit..
We use 27 gallon tough boxes and use the rubber airstones 9 per com7...
Slowing down...Well these are expensive little ventures and since everyone is looking for 2+ per light or DD holy grail of 4+ per plant maybe people are a little disapointed with the current yields...I love this system...It will be very easy to have alot of wattage and a minimum of plant #'s
Here is a link to my old thread if you want to take a look...
