Could someone explain in detail how you would go about running a fan to blow air across the water thats inside the tank? In one of these post that was suggested as a way to keep res temps down...just wondering exactly how that would work.... Thank You!

Well so far the plans are looking good. One can actually do this without drilling any holes in the tank which is no big deal for the tubing for the inlet side. The outlet side after water has been run through cooling radiator can also be layed over top with the power power to the submeged pump...

What about converting a PC water cooling kit? I have already used PC fans that I pulled off these mini radiators that the water passes through and get cooled by the radiator and the fan attached to the radiator. Its all a 12 volt DC system and very easy to convert both the fan and water pump...

Hey banesbong, I was told by SH that those water feed tubes should on the bottom of rock wool cubes not on the top soaking them like that. I asked specifcially the SH folks and they said it was important to get the water feed tube to but up against the bottom of the rock wool cube in the net...

Thanks again NewGrowth bud! I got it now! Didnt even think about the heat generated by the pump...Duh! No wonder my tank level temps rise for no apparent reason after just 2 days after I just changed the tank..its back up to 72F to 75F..... Hey about these Ionic nutrients you swear by, will...

Ok, so basically your saying get rid of the pump pumping the water through the feed tubes into each net pot? I have 3 large airstones all with thier own air pump in a 10 gallon tank so its bubbling like crazy in there anyhow, That would solve my rock wool getting to wet issue also. Most all the...

They also have the 4ft flexiable airstones that are like flex hoses that are suppose to be awsome! I have one on order and will let you know how well it works in a few days when it arrives.

Question guys, how much h202 solution should I use to 6 gllons of water for Bubblponnic system? Im getting a liitle broown line around the inside of the tank and some the roots are turning brown....the plants look really healty and are growing pretty good..new roots every day it seems, but when...

This is not a top feeder its on eof those Bubbleponics. Its a 10 gallon tank I think, and I use 6 gallons of water in it. The pump pupms the water through tubes up to each net pot. Then there are airstones in the tank also. I wonder if I should drain completely your saying and fill it back up...

Thanks for answering all those questions. I dunno why, I just thought for some reason the rock wool should come out at some point...gonna have to re position one or 2 of them a lttle higher so they dont get so wet...there is a feed tube pumping in the water so at some point they are gonna be...

Hi there! Awsome thread! I got one for ya. My plants are ranging from 2 to 4 inches and have roots through to the bottom on the net pots and some roots are hanging in the water even on most all of the plants. This is a Bubbleponic type system. Feed tube going to net cups and airstones for...

Hi bud! Great job so far! I would do a good cleaning of your tank and use peroxide to kill any germs. Get 3% and dilute it a bit for cleaning and swabbing down the tank really good. You should also consider after you get tank and airstones all cleaned up go back with just straight PH water at...

Have you tried the 24 hour of darkness trick? I have read on several grows here and the it seems to work really well. In case you dont know you just simply put them in complete darkness for 24 hours straight, then go back to 12/12. This will make the plant show sex usually withi the next 24 to...

I have to go with Science on this one and from the literature that I read basically stated that the plant was like a machine. It does not need anything except food, water, light, and oxygen. I think this was best proven with LED light growing bubble DWC's systems where even the lights were each...

Im using a fan from a PC water cooling kit, the 5 inch fan that cools the radiator is the one Im using. Its a Thermaltake TT-1225A. It has a 3rd yellow wire coming off of it along with a red and a black one. What should I do with the extra yellow wire? Thanks, this is a AWSOME idea for exhust...

Are your rock wool cubes just wool cubs with nothing around the sides of them at all? Are these just regular cube shaped rockwool?

You need to start with PH correct water first of all. Before you add nuts the PH should be correct if Ive read correctly...someone please step in if Im wrong but Im pretty sure that instrustions said that PH needs to be right BEFORE you add any nuts to your water. That could be your problem and...

That seems a bit high for DWC system. I think you want aroung 6.5 at the very highest but more like 5.8 or 6 is better. It needs to stay the same or very close at all times or you will shock/stress the plants. There could be many things casuing it to flucyuate like that. I would use distilled...

What do the roots look like? Are they white and long?

Were you using rock wool cubes on those very first pics you posted of the white russians? Or were those cloes or something just in hydroton rocks only? Im wondering I have plants that are 3 or 4 inches tall and roots touch the water barely..I wondering if I need the rock wool cubes there in or...
