I've been doing a major upgrade to the flower tent and its been going on for months. Couldn't get some valves I wanted. Then the tables had some leaking issues. I finally moved plants in and used it for the first time 12 days ago. I had the tank at 80% on day 1 and today I had to refill for the first time. Nice even 605 ppm and 6ph that runs 3 times daily for 75 seconds through 4 each 1/4 tubing per plant.
There is a single common sump for both tables and the dehumidifier. Pump switch drains it to the house main sump. The tent is controlled by a TrolMaster Hydro-X. Dehumidifier, humidifier, heater, exhaust etc. I can't really emphasize enough how environmental control in a sealed environment is wickedly important.
There is a 65 gallon holding tank connected to a EcoPlus Elite 900 gph (stop laughing I know). Manifold drains via valve to the same line the tent sump drains to. Second valve controls a line that just runs back into the holding tank for pressure relief since I have this insane pump. Two valves, one for each table on the other side of a 30 psi regulator. I just run the return line wide open all the time and there is still more than enough pressure for the plants. I want to put a CIP ball on there for cleaning but I have not thought it through. 12 days was cake, I can easily do 14. I really don't open the tent or look in much its that easy. Pump runs 3 x a day at 75 seconds and that gives me the overflow I want.
