Hydroponic Setup Question

New to hydro, been reading around and had a few questions for anyone willing to humor me for a minute. The grow tent I have is 5x5x6'11" and the light is a 700 w (actual draw) COB LED.

I'm looking at various hydro systems and am unsure of how many would be appropriate for this tent. Any opinions on the following setups?

1) 2 x Under Current Solo Pro 6: http://growershouse.com/under-current-solo-pro-6-current-culture-ucsolopro6
2) 2 x Under Current Solo Pro 11: http://growershouse.com/under-current-solo-pro-11-current-culture-ucsolopro11
3) Super Closet Bubble Flow Buckets 6 Site: http://growershouse.com/supercloset-bubble-flow-buckets-hydroponic-grow-system-6-site
4) Super Flow 20 Site (http://www.natureshydroponics.com/super-flow-20-plant-site-aeroponics-ebb-flow-nft-grow-system)

Thank you in advance!

Fuck all of those and build your own rdwc out of 5 gals black buckets, rubber donut grommeys, vinyl tube, some barbed fittings and s submersible pump.
 
Simple. The pics are random just to try to show you different parts of it to help you understand how to build it.20160818_210842.jpg 20160813_182332.jpg 20160811_154537.jpg 20160805_090450.jpg 20160713_114537.jpg 20160713_114308.jpg 20160713_114252.jpg 20160704_091312.jpg 20160710_165908.jpg
 
.20160807_121910.jpgyou use a submersible pump (in a filter mesh bag) in the res connected up to the wye "Y" fitting which supplies all the tees/4 way crosses. As the buckets fill, the res lowers, and the bigger 1" tubes feed water back to the res by gravity.

Make Sense?

Note that this displays both my main and my mini rdwc systems.

Main: 1/2" supply/ 1" returns
Mini: 5/16" supply/ 1/2" returns.

Definitely makes sense. Looks like I'll be going to Home Depot this weekend.

Gotta order the buckets online. They're cheap though. Get the taller ones. They're like 2 dollars more for a 3 pack and don't forget the ez peel lids. Alao, for the waterfall you want it up as high as you can go and there's a little ring lip right below the top of the bucket. Just use a razor and cut diagnolly into the lip inwards like 2" away from each other, score top and bottom where the ring meets the bucket, just in between your cuts a few times, then you can SNAP that piece out with your thumbs and get to the flat of the bucket to drill your hole for the grommet.
