opposite. compressed air is warmer. my airpump used to get almost too hot to touch. i actually tried putting it in a dorm fridge to keep it cooler. then i went with waterfalls instead of airstonesSince the air is compressed, it probably leaves the airstones fairly cool.

probably so. i was being cheap and tried to cool down my res by sucking in cold air from the fridge. then i sucked it up and bought a chiller. lol.BTW, moving air across the cooling fins is probably more effective at removing heat than putting it into a fridge.
you'll like that waterfall. keeps the nutes mixed and creates way more DO than airstones.
keeping the airpump outside the tent is good. but yeah, the air coming out of that airpump wont' have enough time to cool before it gets to the stones. the tubing is not a good conductor. if they were in copper air lines, then it would cool down alot.
that's all i used in my rdwc. was it you that i put up a pic of the kitchen sink sprayer that i copied? that thing would crush it with DO with all those high pressure jets hitting the water surface.So just having a waterfall is enough so that you don't need airstones? Wow!

if you are in CO, i'll sell you mine. lol.Yeah, a chiller is on my Christmas list. But one more month and it starts cooling off quit a bit, which may be enough.
I removed the carpet, leaving the plywood floor. I was thinking that if temps aren't staying cool enough, I could remove an area of insulation, under the floor, below the buckets. Just thinking aloud.

yep! kinda makes you have to take a piss too! lol.Sure was
It was from what you had come up with that I made my own. The idea was to use many small holes under pressure to spray jets. It works REALLY well! Love the sound tooMakes me feel like I'm down by the river.
one thing that would help is to get some panda film (black and white poly) and put covers over your tubs with the white side up. will reflect a lot of the heat from your grow light.

Next step:
Tapping into the bathroom's wet wall (behind the bedroom door) to provide water to the room and the 30 gallon reservoir with a float valve.
I'm in OR, but I was stationed at Carson,
no shit? i was a DoD contractor out there for a few years. small world, huh?
LMAO! Not sure if you noticed my profile pic or notdon't know if you are a fan of South Park
i only grow indoors because of the short growing season. and less chance of bugs etc.
