Nerd Gone Vertical
When I saw the original UnderCurrent design, it pissed me off; the only bucket getting a good mix was the also the only bucket they didn't want you putting a plant in!I actually found the use of a chiller using beneficial bacteria was no good. The bennies need warmer water to survive. When I started using the uv sterilizer and uc roots which is not pool shock as people claim , I had 0 issues and never used a chiller again. Around that time I had to be able to move the plants into pollination rooms so dwc was kinda impractical anymore. I would love to build a waterfall setup maybe with a master control tote with major forced oxygen and it would recirculate to the rest of the system. No need to waterfall each bucket if your system recirculates because the oxygen goes with the water.
The waterfalls aerate, churn, agitate and mix each tub site so they provide multiple benefits.
