High to everyone: I’ve spent years growing outside now that my state has finally legalized cannabis for recreational use I purchased a DWC 8 bucket 5 gallon system wanting to turn it into a rdwc system, 4x4x8 grow tent, 4-60 watt equivalent to 350 watt led grow lights 4’ long full light spectrum, ph/ec meters, flora bloom nutrient system, hygrometer/thermometer now I have to purchase a water chiller to complete my system. This is my first time with hydroponics I have read everything I could get my hands on about the subject if anybody has expert insight it would be very appreciated if you could share it with me I have California Dream auto flower seed I plan to grow for my first time. Thank you.

@Bigfoot1 First 10 years I was on the rasing gang anything from connector to hook on to crane operator I still have my NCCCO Cert. Loved it back then, then safety showed up and its not as fun anymore. That and GC’s that are fresh out of college and haven’t built a Lego house. Lol

Sorry late reply but yeah I’m been doing dwc in 27g tote was just thinking of adding another I have two chillers two I never use. Never had to water temps get up there two but I use hydroguard but ran out so started to use up some fermented plant extracts and have no idea if that’s a no no but it’s been working but I have small tent 3x3 probably just use that with a 27g tote another outdoor but i have 3in uc bulkheads wanted to use 2in but dont want to buy any.

Amazon.com: MOQNISE Aquarium Chiller 30L/7.93GAL Water Chiller for Fish Tank, 100W Aquarium Water Chiller with Circulation Function Constant Temperature and Low Noise for Fish Tank, Axolotls, Coral Reef : Pet Supplies $46.99 Fast Cooling: This aquarium chiller is electronically temperature controlled to allow for a circulation pump flow of up to 3 L/min So it circulates roughly 40 gallons of water an hour.

I was wondering about your air pump…that little chiller is nice but i dont want my buckets piped in solid. I like to spin them when they grow. I bought a new air pump by aqua miricle and i love it. Its nice and quiet and pumps alot of air.

Do you have a nice air pump for your hydro?

Otherwise i have 3 of them if you need one.

[IMG_20250710_181733627] I’ve got a decent pump. But I do know of at least 2 people that one is in hydro and the other is considered switching.
