Hey kode....

I will post a pic of the pumps I use....I have two pumps, one is bigger than the other....The big pump is a #5 and the smaller one is a #3......If you were to purchase the #5 pump it would work good for up to 6 buckets.....You could start with that and then add to it when the time is right...........nitro..

Thanks man, i have another question, maybe you wont have to deal with this but when the lights are off how do you keep the nute solution from not dropping down to like 10-15c, i live in the uk so it gets pretty cold. I have been looking at water heaters but cant seem to find a suitable heater for a 16l bucket.

BTW i am in love with your grow.

also could i grab a link to both you'r air pumps.

thanks

also i was thinking my airpump should keep the water at a decent temp but im not too sure.

Hey kode....

Right know my temps out side are mild.....40-55f..........So I use two heaters, one is a radiator oil heater...I put this heater right where the air is pulled into the tent...Then I use a heater that has a fan, and it blows through the other heater.....I will post a pic.....anyway these's heater's keep my tent between 65f to 75f.........nitro...
