Thank you to everyone on this fourm, I learned a lot in my first grow was very successful, it was a pretty simple dwc grow.
I'm going to do a waterfall, rdwc for my next grow but having a background in plumbing, something keeps bothering me about a lot of the rdwc's I'm reading about.
A lot of people use 3" pipe for the return but it seems like with a 1000gph pump, 1-1/2 pipe should be more than enough (2300 gph flow rate). Is there a reason to go bigger on the return pipes? The only thing I can imagine is so roots don't clog it up. Any advice?
