    water reservoir chiller

    water reservoir chiller

    well a chest freezer seems like it would be a great idea but the thing is i dont have room for one or the funds to do that right now. i am just trying to get ideas rolling in my head.

    water reservoir chiller

    yeah thats why i figure just buying 4 would be best unless i came across a do it yourself article or something but i doubt that will happen lol.

    lighting/room size

    the tent would be an indoor tent with atmospheric controls that is 8x8 doing a perpetual aero grow with 4 aero systems. after doing all the math the grow area is 3x3 and the system among other add- ons, it would fill the tent up.

    lighting/room size

    its 7 feet cause i would be using 2 reservoirs. one on each side. one for the pumps etc and the other to drain in so the roots go into the drain reservoir instead of the one with the pumps but there is more too it than that. im just telling you why it would be 7 feet. with the reservoirs on each...

    water reservoir chiller

    well i know that. more than anything i was wondering if it would be possible to build something like that for cheaper than going and buying 4 but the more i looked into it the more i came to realize i would be better off buying 4 of them instead of trying to rig something like that myself.

    water reservoir chiller

    im trying to get some info on a water chiller that could be used on 4 seperate reservoirs doing a perpetual grow with 20 gal reservoirs. is this even possible with a single system cause i wouldnt want to mix nutes from the different reservoirs. basically what i would need to do is have a...

    too much lumens?

    would even adding an extra 400w mh make a significant difference cause that room would be getting all it needs with just 1000w hps. i was just trying to see if getting that "10,000" lumens good old mother nature gives us would do anything significant.

    too much lumens?

    actually with the 1000w and adding a 400 watt would give me exactly 10000 lumens so that would be best then right?

    too much lumens?

    i was thinking about using a 1000w Eye Hortilux Super HPS 145,000 lumens and a 1000w Agrosun Super Red Sodium 146,000 lumens for a total of 14550 per square foot in a 5 foot wide by 5 feet deep by 7 feet high. i know heat would be a definant issue but if it was kept under control would using...
