Oh the only water will be 8" deep in the center cross and t-fittings it's for the fog being generated by a total of 9 nutramist ultra sonic foggers, no water movement per seI think your connecting pipes are too big. Most of your solution will be in the pipe. If you oxygenate the solution much of the oxygen will be lost in the pipes.
You will need a much bigger water pump to move the solution and a much bigger air pump in a much bigger reservoir. I think if you used smaller pipes you would need less powerful air and circulation pumps and a smaller reservoir and still get better circulation and oxygenation to the roots.
Your room looks incredible. It is way beyond anything I have ever done. I have never attempted this kind of hydro system. It just seems to me you made the connecting pipes too big. In an effort to get more solution flow to the plants I think you will get less flow. At the very least you are making it necessary to have a much bigger pump, aerator and reservoir.
please do a build thread . . . then a grow thread.

I know it won't literally explode..but I've run into some what of a challenge I was hoping you guys could help me overcome. (or I may be waaaay over thinking it) My current method consists of having an air pump (hiblow-80) outside the sealed room connected to an oxygen tank pushing the oxygen enriched air into the pipe system to create a positive pressure which causes the fog/nutrients/oxygen out of the holes where the net-buckets sit. I have a concern that the result of this method will also pressurize the entire room reducing CO2 levels AND increasing air leakage which results in odor. I'd like to know if you have any ideas for the main goal of:
Maintaing higher than atmospheric levels of oxygen inside the pipes, that do not require leaking into the growing environment all the while ensuring efficient nutrient delivery via the ultrasonic fogger system.
The room is sealed and the entire pipe system will be sealed with the exception of possible leaks around the neoprene net-pot inserts, which is acceptable/unavoidable. I was debating on running a 3/4" pvc pipe perpendicular to the main pipe (with check valves) out side the room....that way pressure increases in the pipe, check valves open and air is vented outside.
Other ideas?
What makes you want to use pressurized O in your tubes,your idea or did you read some research on it. How much are you planning on releasing?Oh the only water will be 8" deep in the center cross and t-fittings it's for the fog being generated by a total of 9 nutramist ultra sonic foggers, no water movement per se
Shit look bad ass.
Who made the 3D image for you?

Looks like you ran across an old wally aero thread. I used that type of tubing all the way back to the rez. My rez got filled up with roots. Have you used your misters before,sonic foggers never seem to last. How are you going to chill the nutes down?
