We've all been given the false hope of chilling our reservoirs with frozen water bottles. Truth is, it's just not doable. Far too much work and being around to keep up on it. Really, a chiller is a great investment if you don't plan on or want to in the future, learn a beneficial bacteria regime that plays nice in your system and climate.
I say run sterile, ro water, a lil calmag and GH flora trio, set chiller at 66°F and they're off to the races
Yeah chiller is definitely better but growing couple dwc buckets frozen water bottles is really easy and super cheap. I had 4 bottles that were changed 4-6 hours and worked like a charm at night for 6 hours of rest never needed them. So really only needed them for 18 hours. So 3-4 changes if needed. My temp was 85 in tent and down to 75-70 for final flowering. I use like 1-2 bottles a day and thats it now. I do use hydroguard and ro water though!

Little different when you're setups 40gallons though.
