Bravo, congrats------"it works."
I've had the same idea about you nute cooling design ------but never tried it.
If you did a cost analysis comparing your present design using one big chiller and the coils vs separate smaller chillers----if so, what you find out?

My approach to sizing a rez is based on watts of light used.
I use a minimum of 25 gallons per every 1000 watts------and usually lasts for 6-8 days-----then pump out and reload.

Never tried the bleach treatment------have you noticed much improvement?
Have you thought about using an inline pump to get your temp down or cycle timer?

My achilles heel in my operation is aero cloning ------thank goodness I have a reliable back up method too.
My quest from the beginning has been the elimination of all medium (except popping seed).
