Hiya โ๏ธ๐ท ,
Looks pretty classy over here ๐๐, i lobe fresh setups ๐๐
Personally , and this is personally but i would100% be automaticly reticulating that leca in those airpots ,resi pumping to dripper ring@ base of stem and from the trays back to resevoiur,
a small fish pump, its only gotta go a few metres.
20lt bucket,
5m x 5mm flexi riser line
2m x 10mm flexi poly tube ,
Lift your trays to height of resi and it should run back no pump
Resi's are super easy ,
dial in ya ph the first few times u fill it ,
then u should ok-ish โ๏ธ๐ ,
dont go tooo big ,
and then weekly just replace the resi , if it gets low during the week , top up with water or just replace ๐๐ , a splash of "" o2 cleaner "" every now and then to clear algae , and ya good
โ๏ธ๐ i used leca for aggges ,
for example i had my feed timers for 100% leca set to 15mins on 15mins off , with only a 2hr off period in dark-time ,
Buddy i only stopped using leca cause i was
""" absolutley SICK """" of stepping on it when barefoot , ๐ฆ๐๐โ๏ธ ,
reticulating leca systems are good.
I also used to use a touch of "" vermiculite ""
for water holding inside the leca , if need be.
Peace out โ๏ธ๐
