I use the wave maker. It sits lower in the rez than the pump I use for the big water tank I have. I would think. But donāt know. That when the level got low enough. It would start to spray some in there and raise the ph levels like an air stone. If @emgoldslo has the pump, he would know better than I do for that. 
Another one mysteriously broke off Hmmmmm 
It looks pretty good

Hey @beardless
Do you just flush the coco with it or do you soak the coco?

@Not2SureYet @emgoldslo whatās the differ between the flextank and flextank pro?
3 Likes
Iām not sure. @Nicky might know because he recommended the pro.
I opted for the Flextank because Iām considering building my own.
I bought the XL with 6 pots and got the 60 gallon tank. I had 6 plants in my 5x5 and during flower they were going through 5 gallons of water a day. My next grow also has 6 plants but after that Iām going down to 4, maybe 5.

Ok thank you. The site I found the system on doesnāt say the diff between the 2, it just gives the option of one or the other lol

I believe I read in one of @Nicky 's responses somewhere in the forum that recharge isnāt good for this system. May have been clogging issues I think.

Hereās the small list of the extras I just ordered, should get me through the 1st run.
Also Iām pretty sure āSecretGardenā is still good for a 5% discount at webhydroponics

Thanks everyone for all the Information. I ordered the AutoPot Springpot XL 6pot pro system and some extra parts. The site I got it from had it for 10% off plus I got an additional 5% off from a coupon code and ended up getting it all shipped for $424 which was more than a $100 cheaper from Autopots website! For the other stuff I will get it from Amazon. Thanks again everyone for your input

I soak coco for a couple hours. Hydroton I soak for a couple days.

Recharge has kelp in it which is organic and can cause issues, however the newer aqua valve 5 is designed larger to work with organics as long as the reservoir is cleaned after each fill.
Flexi tank normal vs proā¦
The normal flexi tank is a nice design but the poles fall out of the bottom every time you move it. I have never used a pro although it doesnāt have the pole issue and is considered better for multiple reasons.
That being said Iāve used the old valves and two non pro flexi tanks for 2+ years nowā¦
I broke a fitting and may have to upgrade to the new valves which will cost me 150$ to replace my current ones.

I ended up going with the pro version because it was only a $39 difference. I also did get the aqua valve 5 version.

@Nicky I ended up going with canna coco bricks from my local hydro store. They had the bags of it, but when I went to grab a couple a few of them had large tears in them surrounded by hundreds of fungus gnats. So I went with the bricks as all those fungus gnats scared the crap out of me lol

Yeah dude there were so many gnats all hovering around the baseball sized holes in the bags and when I moved the bag 100s came flying out. I instantly said NOPE and grabbed the bricks. I am super stoked to use this auto pot system. Iāll be germinating my photo seeds here this weekend or early next week.

There is no date stamped on my container. Just a batch number. That might be a question for general hydroponics.

@Pinboy did you end up getting a pump for your rez or a wave maker? Iām about to purchase my pump and extra tubing. Also does the autopot xl with the 3/8 tubing, is the tubing hard tubing or soft? I am about to order extra tubing as well.
