Hey brother... how many gallon system do you use this small rig for?
I have a small RDWC for mommas coming up soon... mayby 25-30 gallons. Also I will have a UC system of about 100-200 gallons?
Bad ass... thanks for sharing.
I do the same thing (SM-122), but I use a 5g bucket w/lid and diluted down (Advanced) pH down and a 'reptile' pump.

If you don't mind me asking. How much of the 5 gallon bucket. Do you fill with water and how much PH down do you add? Just getting a general idea here. I'm going to be setting up one of those new Sun System Flo-N-Gro System and want to add one of these for the 55 gallon barrel.
Thanks,

For me the sm 122 has been a great meter, all of mine stay real close to calibration even after months of being submerged. I looked up reptile pumps and all I could find was really small water pumps, I'm assuming that is what you meant. This makes sense of why you have so much top off solution, if its a small pump it can move quite a bit of solution in a short amount of time.
In case anyone out there isn't familiar with a dosing pump it works completely different than a regular pump. It has a rubber tube inside that a wheel rubs on slowly moving the solution. Normally ph down in concentrated form would destroy a regular pump but dosing pumps are made for stuff like this. The pump that I use is only capable of .5 ml per minute so using concentrated solution is not a problem. Also priming them is not necessary.
Whenever I dilute if for my clone machine I do 50/50 water and GH PH down.
Check out my DIY doser in my sig. :)
Yes, its a tiny water pump. I am also dosing directly into the epicenter of my UC and don't want pure acid going directly in to fry roots. AN Down is WAY stronger than GH down.
you should switch to food grade phosphoric acid and you will never buy a bottle of ph down again. an ounce of that stuff took 5 gallons of 8ph down to 2.5ph.
