Putting bubbles in your 'ponics

hey guys,.. i got a help thread going on for noobs.. need help with this ?

I got a dwc with a couple 5 gallon buckets tubed togeather and a rez. I keep getting leaks from the fittings I had to install in the buckets and rez to connect the hoses to. What would you recomend putting around the fittings to stop the leak?

i have no idea what he is describing,.. thanks in advance

Silicone, he's talking about hoses leaking between his buckets and his controller

yup, just grab a silicone gun thingy from yoru local hardware store. you could also use heavy duty rubber grommets but i'd personally want the best option, just in case. or both!

Here's a hot question for you DWC masters. (Illegal, Tom, etc) I see a few people on here using H202 in their setup which intrigues me. Yesterday I was reading in ClosetGrowth's grow journal and his tip of the day was using 8 drops of bleach per gallon instead of H202. This intrigues me even more because I've been too lazy to hunt down the appropriate concentration of H202 but I've got plenty of bleach already. I'm familiar with what some people consider the drawbacks of H202 (killing your microrganisms, etc) and was curious if bleach would have similar negative side effects, better, worse? I'm perfectly willing to use H202 and as long as you guys don't think bleach will react a whole lot differently I'd like to use it, especially since I'm doing fewer res changes now. CG says he's been doing it for awhile now and his plants look great as always.

What say more experts?

Personally I think its awesome he had the guts to try that bleach thing because I never would. I don't think I could get past the thought of my plants taking up even a little bit of bleach - and then later I'm going to smoke it or hand it off to someone else who is going to smoke it.

Argue what you might about the plant being able to or not able to take it up and how long it would last.. blah blah blah... I just personally wouldn't want to do it. Same though for me applies to Fluoride... Its one of the main reasons I'm thinking about going to an RO system even though my tap water comes out at 140 ppm.

I do bleach now
