Bobby, here is what I did....very ghetto and works perfectly.
I took a 5 gallon pail and drilled a ton of 1" holes in it all over.
Then I took cheap landscaping fabric (alright mother who can sew helped)
and made a couple bags/pouches out of the fabric.
Water and nutes flow through it very easily but no pcs of roots or anything.
I put the 5 gallon pail into the landscaping fabric bag and then my sump pump into that. Top ties up tight with a thin rope or string. Been just over a year for me on the same bag but I imagine you could easily through it in the washer on gentle or handwash to bring it back to original.
I did an upright Heath ledger build almost identical to yours but with 2 - 600 lights. 60 sites averaged .75 oz per site
would still use it but every once in a while I go away for a few weeks and I wasnt there to look after it and had problems with plants falling over etc from being too top heavy. Buds would grow to within 6 inches of bare bulbs with no problems whatsoever. Definitely watch for root issues though as some of my plants had 4-5 foot roots. hope this helps
On my set-up I ran a return line from the unit through my wall (basement) and down into an underground thermal cooling loop.
Dug a hole 6 feet down and 3 feet in diameter. then I coiled up 150 feet of 1" sprinkler hdpe tubing into it, the return came back inside to my reservoir. All summer the water was around 63 degrees. I did just bypass it for the winter though....way too cold!
