@eriinho, I'm using a standard Bubbleponics bucket raised off the ground just above reservoir height. I cut the sight tube on the side to slightly more than 1 inch below the basket. Put a tee in at the level to create my gravity drain to feed the reservoir. Then I used a $11 pump from Harbor Freight to pump my feed lines. The solution height in the bucket is a little adjustable by sliding the tee up or down on the sight tube. Flow can be adjusted to do 1 to 4 buckets at least.

@Captainonthego, that sounds wonderfully efficient. My setup is much more simple as it’s my first grow and still learning my way around. It’s a basic DWC. Got a 5 gal bucket, painted it black and got a black lid with a mesh drop. The plant lives in clay pebbles with the roots extending to the bucket. I have a pump with two tubes connected to air stones in the reservoir. Might experiment with automating the water level but that takes lots of space, which I’m currently limited in. Your setup is sweet tho!

@jellyfishconsciousness, Bubbleponics is a term I've seen using a 5 gallon bucket with an aerator and stead of using a circulation system. Generally seen with a sight sight tube on side to check water level. I used that system and added circulation by putting a tee in the sight glass at the level I want the water, from the tee a drain line running to a reservoir that pumps to my top feeds making a circulation system. Curious about your setup.

@Captainonthego, it’s a DWC 5 gal (:
