Any plumbing supply store or Home Depot will have something. Basically you want a grommet, some pvc, and a t-ball valve. Easy DIY drain.
So I chickened out with the h2o2 and just used grow,micro,bloom,b52,calmag and root accelerator. My ppm's minus my tap water are around 700. Can I just run with that till I switch over to bloom? This shit is going to make me crazy!

Yep you can paco and when you flip to flower switch to the bloom resipe and you should be golden bro!
If you want post some pics! Would help me better read your plants! Up to you though

Providing oxygen to your roots in a hydro setup is a huge plus. Oxygenating your nutrient solution allows fo reasier uptake of nutrients by your plants and also helps to control temps and fungi/algae in your reservoir. Go for it.

hey HR I have 2 4x4 flood tables on the way. this is what im planning
9- 3 gallon smart pots with promix in each 4x4 with dyna gro
was going to run tap in my reservoir my tap is 70 ppm
I wanted to do the promix so I can hand water them while there in the veg tent 4x4 ( veg in top and bottom of 4x4) and while Im waiting for the last round to finish in the 4x8 to finish ill veg them ( prob 4 weeks apart) then in the 4x8 table ill start with a flood cycle. what do you think of this? If im using this medium I fig itd need less flooding what would you do for W/d cycles? thanks for any help

I would flood them as needed keep the pump unpluged and when they need water plug it in for a bit. Pro mix
Dont need water but like every three days
Dont need water but like every three days
So you think I'll get good results using that ill do just that but i have a feeling theyll need water every other day. I might try a trey with the sure to grow medium have you heard anything about that?

If you growing large plants in little buckets you will end up watering a ton! But for you just watch your plants and soil
And you will know the right time to water

Some of you might not know yet but im have been running tests with alternative methods of adding bennys to your res!
This goes out to all who dont want to brew tea but would like a more simple method.
So im over 1 1/2 weeks with just using aquashield adding strait to the res, at 200ml every three days and il report
Theres zero smell or signs of bactiria. Ph is rocl solid! Water uptake has been the same and roots are great looking!
Water temp is 65f at the res and 68f at the lower control box. So far aqua shield is doing its thing!
I will continue to report finding as i go, and also will take note of how dirty things are when i do
As res change for all who are interested.

Do you not have a R/o unit attatched to the tap? or just buying the r/o. if you are concerned about the water quality a cheap r/o system can be bought for 100$, and as long as your not doing a huge op this should suffice.
