i did mine a bit different so your results might be different. i used 2" pvc for my returns at the bottom of each tub. then off that 590gph pump was 3/4 heater hose teed to go to one waterfall per tub.
it seemed like it moved a good bit of water. i think the undercurrent system uses a danner inline 1000gph which seemed overkill for only 3 tubs total.

My supply manifold is one inch, so I don't have to get different parts than my one inch hose and irrigation fittings. Also, smaller supply lines definitely created a restriction for me.

You dont ask for my advice when I've bought both bits, used 5 gal and 27 gal HDX totes, and have usually got 2 custom rdwcs to show for it??

I joined just the other day , still cleaning up and drying a bit, luckily it was only water with some h202 in it and only about a 10 gallon spill since I was here and turned off the pump, theres potential for 50 gallons or better to end up on the floor here, id hate to see a couple hundred gallons on the floor.
I just took all bulkheads out of the team water coolers and reinstalled using aquarium sealant on the bulkheads. Doesn't make it totally failsafe from pump failure but at least th3 bulkheads are sealed.

I'm pretty happy with mine, too:
Control bucket in the foreground; yellow 1" line at the top is the manifold for topfeed, two half inch lines are supply and return lines for the copper chilling coil and all lower 1" lines are return lines from tubsites. This is actually a very complete picture of the inner workings of my RDWC system.

Sorry to hear it. I got rid of the carpet in the basement long ago...

why does your supply run on the ground? I was thinking of a solid pvc line that runs between the two rows above the buckets so when you run the lines over to the tops of the buckets youre letting gravity work the waterflow.

So I don't trip on it. Been planning yet another redesign, so that may change too.

Redesign after redesign. Constant upgrades.
Its always fucking something.
Bahahaha, the woman text me if I wanna go to Louisville street fair, Firefall is playing , fucking sounds gayish to me even though I cant recall a firefall tune to save my life. Had to look them up and I see they originated from Boulder, typical Boulder.

I beg to differ, I may spend a little more for a smaller container but at least it's insulated!

having said that I'm gonna have to get a larger chiller for 70-80 gallons of water. Although I'm not exhausting chiller exhaust out of the room because I haven't put in a vent yet (in the winter I'll just dump any and all heated exhaust in the house at some point.. Maybe a smaller pump at the chiller. I'll try that first.

Pull a Db or First and get the multizone mitsubishi and set in your easy chair chilling while your weed does the same in it's room.
Or better yet Daikin.
