6 site might be a bit ambitious for a 5x5. I build my own and can help ya but are you sure you want 6 sites?I have a pretty new 5x5 grow tent. In it, I am looking to put a 6 bucket DWC Recirculating System. I am only growing Auto's here with a 24 hour light schedule. Anyway, I have kinda drawn this out before and also 'borrowed' this foto from Amazon.

I guess what I am really trying to say is I plan on using a setup similar to the above, I am mostly wondering about fine-tuning it before I cut. For instance, would these fittings from this photo be good? I have seen where 2" pipe was just put into rubber grommets inside the buckets w/o any glue or fastening and wondering if this made the system easier to clean,...
Really anyone who has tips or photos, advice anything on how to build one of these please inform me, I only want to cut once,... lol ;- j

Waterfall systems do that. Any adequate system the water level will always stay the same in eachHi . You’re grow looks great. I was wondering if anyone has ever thought of doing rdwc in reverse. By having the water pump pulling the water from the reservoir and sending it to the last bucket and linking the buckets with the water pipe at the desired water level, so that the water gets to that level and then goes to the next. This way the water level in the plant bucket always stays the same and the water level in the reservoir drops as the plants use it. Any advice please. Thanks
Nothing wrong with rdwc at all but for the reason you mentioned and many others, individual buckets are so much more flexible and in my opinion are generally the best all around option for home hydroponics. For someone wanting to do rdwc I would ask:The point about what if I want to grow different strains during the same grow,... I realized I may as well just be better off using individual buckets,... I didn't want anyone having to put together a list since its probably not the direction I need to go,... I wanted to thank Nugg and Aqua though for their input,... ;- j
Not a waterfall system, and I’m not talking about the water level staying the same I’m talking about as the water pump sends the water to the furthest bucket the water level in the reservoir drops because of the pipe connecting each bucket leading back to the reservoir is at the desired water level so it doesn’t drop. But the water level in the reservoir drops as the plants use it. I have started to use this, but this is my first grow. I also have a water pump pulling from the last two buckets ( or the first two that the water from the reservoir come across) and send it to the second row of buckets just so that I can utilise the Venturi effect.Waterfall systems do that. Any adequate system the water level will always stay the same in each
