I had an idea. It's probably been thought of before....but anyway.
The concept is to have a main resevoir for your nutes. And then another same size resevoir tank right next to it, only sitting 6" higher. You then join the two resevoirs via a nylon tube attached to the bottom of the facing sides of each resevoir. You clamp the hose and fill the main with your normal nutrient mix and ph level and all and then fill the FILLER resevoir up to the same height from the ground with a 1/3 strength mix and a lower ph level. Then unclamp the hose. The water shouldn't flow through the tube unless evaporisation happens in the main resevoir and the extra weight in the filler resevoir forces it's mix down. This would keep the ph level from rising in the main resevoir and replenish the mix with the right strength to maintain a proper EC.
What do you think?
