try slowing down the flow from the recirculating pump with a shutoff valve partially closed, or smaller pump. same problem I ran into with current setup but only 6 buckets (using shutoff valve 1/4 way closed)

You are going to want to center those stones in the middle of the bucket and your water level looks a little high in the video.
But that is a nice looking system. Just get her dialed in, ive had a tough time with my DWC mostly due to slime, but still its been a bitch.

Do you use BH valves to daisy chain those buckets or just drill a hole and force the tubing in? Just always wondered...

I will take close up shots on how i connected the hoses. I drilled a hole with a 1" inch drill bit.
20120416_112421.jpg 1" drill bit for bucket holes,

Grommet size: 1"inch
Hose size: 3/4" inch
Straight Size 3/4" inch

Silicone around the grommets edges that are on the outside of the bucket.
Also if yo do have a leak when system is full. Home depot sells awesome under water apoxe seal almost instantly.
