I Have A 55 Gal Res. Need A Pump All Diffkinds. Does Pump Size Matter And What Is This 1 Foot Lift Or Something Lookin To Buy One But Dont Want To Get The Wrong One
The 1 foot lift (it's called head), means that the pump will pump the amount of water it states if the place it is pumping to is 1 foot above the pump. The higher it has to pump, the less water it will pump with a max head that it will pump just enough to keep the pump running cool enough to not burn itself up.[email protected] said:I Have A 55 Gal Res.

You haven't said what type of grow you're doing. It sounds like you're building an ebb and flow system, but I can't be sure.[email protected] said:Well I'm Makin My Own System 1 Step At A Time I Got My Big Blue 55 Gal Res.

Your reservoir should have a lid on it. No light on the nutrient solution is why you use colored buckets and hose. If the reservoir is covered, then only a very tiny amount of evaporation will take place.[email protected] said:Ok I Got It But Since My Res Is So Big Should I Get A Smaller One So There Is Less Room For Humid Temp. To Evaporate It As Fast? Oh An Should I Put An Air Stone In Each Bucket Or Just The Res I Have Tons Of Airs Stones From All My Old Fish Tanks Just An Idea...someone Said To Put A Spray Nozzle On The Hose For The Pump When It Sucks It Back In The Res Will Shoot A Faster Stream Back In The Res To Add Oxygen To The Solution...?
