Air Pump Help

Im working an DIY Under Current DWC. I was wondering if a 45 LPM (1.59 cfm) air pump would be enough to handle 4 buckets and one res?

I would recommend a minimum of 1 lpm per gallon

Will I have any problems if my air pump produces more than what I have in gallons?

I've done 3lpm/gallon with great results, so I doubt it!

I run 110Lph pump for about 12-14 buckets 2.5 gallons each full blast some root shears happen... my plants love it..

I had a 60 gallon air pump for 4, 4 gallon buckets and it didnt seem to want to work...i replaced with another one...but still havin problems...ineed to find a GOOD pump

Hey man looks like you run almost the size bucket as i am going to. I am going to run 10 2.6GAL tubs, and the biggest pump I can find so far is a 10 liters per minute with 6 outputs, its an aquarium pump. How am I looking with this?Thank you. Going to check your grow right now!

Thanks for the link! However I am currently in South america and supplies are very limited. I had to build my net pots with a pool skimmer filter LOL.

Quick question for you, placed my seeds into my presoaked rock wool on sunday night in a tray with a heating pad under neath, Today when i went to check on it most of my cubes are completely dry, i added water to the bottom of the tray, should i spray the sides? re dunk them for aminute? Not sure how to proceed here. All input is welcomed! Thank you.

Rockwool rapidrooters should always be moist but never soaking wet.
