i wanted to build this system but it would be like a dwc. my plan is to airate the water in the resevoir with airstones...and a pump would constantly pump water into the channels at one end...in another end there will be a overflow to drain the water when it gets to a certain level. would this system work. it will be on 24 7

Also how woudl i be able to make the overflow drain when im going to be using the round 6" pvc pipe

ur going to areate the res.... yeh it seems logical man try it mise well... only probel i see is when the root balls are giant what are u guna do flow flower, and possible drowning from lack of oxygen in the water by plants .. i know it will be flowing and that may cause aeration and the areated water from the res but still i dont know if this will be enough ..... great idea though im intrested to see how this works ... subscribed and rep

i think the only way it would work dude is if u put airstones in the res that roots sit in but the that just makes it a re-circulating dwc.

Too much water and no air unless you use perlite, like 80% and coco20%.

its a variation of ebb and flow if you dont have enough timers , or if you cant get ahold of the tables needed
