I'm thinking about moving into active hydroponics. Quick rundown on my grow space, I have a 32" x 32" x 84" tall tent, the tent is in an office closet. Summer time temps in the grow tent run an average of about 76 degrees F, sometimes peaking out at 83 and lows in the lower 70's. Fine for soil grows but Id be concerned about water temps in the reservoir in the summer months.
I'm considering either an areoponic system or a drip system. The reservoir would be around 7-10 gallons. I know there are aqua chillers from 1/4 hp on up, the 1/4 hp units look like their going for around $350. Seems like overkill to me, but that's why I'm here. Any suggestions? Also is water temp in an areoponic system as critical as a DWC or drip system, thanks for any help.
Peace,
