so here it is I actually got off my lazy ass and put it together. The tubing running between the pump and the manifold is run down the drain into the res. Makes for a pain in the ass getting the shit all set up. will figure out something else.

That thing is surrounded by buckets. lol
hey locnar start a good log with your foggers I'm really interested in that! The tub i used actually came from a 5 tub drip system I had made awhile ago. Here's a link to what the old system looked like.

that's a good looking bucket disguised as a tub. from my own experience with a similar aero set up, i find changing the rez very annoying. also, it's a good idea to drill a hole near the bottom of your rez and attach a gromet, elbow, and hose and use it as a level. makes observing solution levels very easy, as well as testing for ph and nute levels.

Sweet setup with the tubs. I'm getting a few more things together. My bro had to jump in. He has had some root rot we are trying to get under control. and we need more veg time so he has the mistic cloner. Just put 6 Papaya clones in it today. Will get a camera and start the log tomarrow.

If your talking about the purple on the pipes that's pvc cleaner. That's a good plumber who uses that stuff.

Hey everybody thanks for all the replies. Locnar cant wait to see your thread.
Side note forgot to weather strip the top of the tub went downstairs to a wet floor and half filled rez?

Nice setup! I just finished my aero tub as well. The cool thing is I found a $50 cab at goodwill.
These pictures are older, before I finished. But you can still see the size of the cab/Rubbermaid containers:

I just finished coating the inside with mylar (i don't have a picture of that yet).
I also went with 3.5" net pots, and pacman sponges.
Does anybody know if pacman sponges are okay to grow seeds in? I'd like to keep the entire process from start to finish in my cabinet. I'll build a humidity dome for the plants first 1-2 weeks.
