I really think you should do it. Just use a reducing coupling and make you bar smaller diameter with only 3 holes of 1/8-1/4".it's so simple to do and will fix your whole problem.besides the leak of course...
Awesome man, yeah I’m not going bigger on the pump, next pump will be a DC and another configuration. I’m not sure how it would do submerged. I haven’t paid much attention to the chiller, I check it here and there and it’s not always running so I’m somewhat satisfied. The water sits around 64-66 I also have the entire room the grow room is in set to about 72, keep a fan around the business end of the setup to move warm air out. If I can turn my chiller up to 68-70 that would be cool, our warm time of the year is coming so I’m trying to keep on top of all the heat so I know what to expect. This is my first run under 1k, I did maybe 8-10 grows under 600w mh before and soil. I’m anticipating needing a de humidifier yet this summer. I appreciate all the input as well guys.
looks like he has plenty to cut inside the tote. for like 5 bucks, i'd do both: smaller holes and smaller pipeI really think you should do it.

I agree man, good thing I’m off work right now, I’m going back in tonight lol. I’m not changing the bars yet, that wouldn’t be hard to do at all and I could install my unions to rejoin the smaller bar. But it all might be a waste if it’s just a worn impeller. Maybe temp plug holes, fix leak and impeller then go from there?I really think you should do it.

not to insult your intelligence but the chiller is outside the grow room?
They are light proof including the tops, tubs are rated for 400lbs, I have never run open holes under the light either. I just did a water swap after 32 days. Looked ok but I’m new to hydro.
I think he should just cut the pipe right after the elbows and tees leading to the sprayers, short enough so the coupling butts right up to the elbows and tees. Have the whole sprayer extensions be 1/2" it will help with equal pressure.
Legit question, yes and so is the reservoir, both in a ac controlled room.
Ya it's on his res where it should be. That's where his waterfall for the res cones from, right @J232 ?
muy bueno. you'd be surprised at how many don't. lol
You bet man, it’s all behind the grow room.
I know man, I been watching for a couple years lmao. I’m trying!
once you get that thing dialed in, you are in for a bunch of weed per harvest. hope you by yourself aren't trimming all that! lol.
Haha that’s my goal man, I want anything that gets close to it to go beast mode. Nutes might be my next challenge as I changed brand and feed chart and my first hydro run. The old lady usually trims a branch and runs away haha, that’s one thing I won’t worry about yet!
How bout this.. 1/2” site manifolds, shorter t bar and 3 holes like mentioned. I have pipe to do like 4 6” manifold I would just need caps Ts and connectors and 3-4 grams of bud lol. Fix the leak, replace the impeller.
Thanks man, yeah it sucks having to link videos, there’s a few snuck in up there. I might just be getting old. It’s been so long since I have been active on grow forums. My first scog was on overgrow in like 2001 haha, 150w hps. And shit man, why didn’t I think of that, cut and cap outside holes, I might even have enough caps to do that, will play with it tonight after everyone leaves me alone.
Was thinking the same thing! Just shorten it down to 2! Most of us just have a single fall in each container, so even 2 is above and beyond!
Awesome man, I appreciate your guys advice. I’m in a trade where it’s in people’s best interest to listen to those who have done and succeeded. If you ask questions then do your own thing and ignore someone’s advice. Well... then your dumb imo. We will never stop learning or helping, tweaking and improving. I can’t wait to post my first pic with the hps on, lmao.
