I ran 2 modified rdwc Waterfarms, with a 5 gal remote reservoir.. A 5 gal bucket waterfarm is the same.. The mods i do on both types of WFs allow the drip ring in each WF, and diy WF buckets to move the water.... the circulation rate for a single WF is120 gal a day.. Two modified WFs remove and return 240 gals a day from a remote reservoir.. Once the water passes through 9 liters of hydroton, it contains all the O2 a plant needs. No air stones are needed to add more.. They just add heat.. No electric water pump. is used to move the water.. Google - Mixed hydro - Water culture - the grow for these pics.
The reason for lack of answer to a 'simple question' could be your opening statement. Did you mean dope or top? If you are top feeding then all the roots are getting fed, therefore, water/nute level is not important, assuming your feeding cycle is frequent enough to not allow roots to dry out hth

Last time I ran DWC my buckets were thee and a half gallons. Grew three and a half feet plants with out staking, so five gallons would be of the utmost luxury. You don't have the space to grow plants bigger than that, so beyond five gallons your wasting your free time changing rez's, and throwing away money on nuits to fill over sized rez's you just don't needl.
