Thanks for the advice, I’m sure the first people to ever do anything had plenty of experience before trying something new…oh wait…. Lol jk, I appreciate it but regardless I’m either going to achieve something or fail, only two options so why not experiment in the process?

That is pretty cool! I’m gonna have to give those more of a look as well! Those might be great for my pepper plants as well lol

I’m thinking with the ideas I have for This system it should stay aerated pretty well without air pumps due to the waterfall effect mixed with lots of water movement in the bottom totes. I’m not really going for simple as I am performance. I guess we will see after I get it going lol

what do you mean by easy plug pyramid? Haven’t heard of this yet?

Well I know the air pump that came with a system my buddy gave me is about 32w and the power head I am going to use is only 16w. Also I’ve seen people mentioning about pollutants coming in through the air system so I was thinking of just avoiding that altogether. But yet again I am new to all...

so the system I showed in the pics I originally was planning all aeroponic sprayers in the top res but I see lots of things about aeroponics not helping anymore than normal hydroponics. im new to all this anyways but I’m looking for the best ideas. So doing the aeroponic sprayers in the top is...

Basic idea rn for the build. Inside the top would be the hoses that would spray to fill them but it will hopefully be a quick drain system to also help move the water enough back between the bottom totes and top to keep it aerated.

Part of the reason I am wanting to go this route is so the roots have a 12 gallon res to be in without fear of tangling into pumps or tubes. Also with the 2 27 totes below that’s plenty of water to support 4 sites for at least 2 weeks?

So my current idea is like a waterfall system I guess. 4 12 gallon totes that have multiple drains into 2 27 gallon totes below. Yes it is a taller build but I am thinking that will help with aeration? Also having the power head pump in one of the bottom totes would be moving water for aeration...

So when designing my hydroponics system I’m trying to think different. I want to go no air pumps but maybe a power head as they use less electricity and less likely to put outside things into the system. I’ve never done hydroponics before but fee I have a pretty good grasp on what a normal...

Haha I feel I’m kinda nuts on it myself but I’m taking it as far as I can lol. I went and got all my totes and a shelving for it. I have my basic design already. I’ve decided the top res that with house each plant will have aeroponic spray heads in it and I’m think of doing multiple small drain...

what I’m thinking of doing myself is an aeroponics setup with 12 gallon totes for the root system and those would drain down to 27 gallon totes on the bottom. I was figuring to give the roots a pretty big area to grow without having much to tangle in such as going thru the tubes and stuff...

Hey guys, new around here been looking at all kinds of posts, but generally I see a lot of the same. I was just wondering if anyone has seen any different styles of Rdwc systems? Like something off the wall you don’t see every day? im looking to build a system now and have alot of ideas but I’m...
