I plan to grow next crop in a new system ( enhanced one ). 6 buckets connected together and connected to a rez. The 6 buckets are 1 foot over the rez. No airstone in the buckets but lot of air in the rez. A water pomp to throw the water from the rez to the 6 buckets in a continuous flow, 24/7, this water go back to the rez afterwards. Is it close to your drip system, Zandor?

Not quite, but most top feed systems all have the same idea.
You may want to have air stones in each bucket; it would help to keep nutrients mixed up as well. You may want to use more of a fill & drain technique. Fill the buckets for x amount of time ever few hours or so. Leaving a small amount of water in the bottom of each bucket with air stones to feed them in-between each water cycle. Each water cycle will bring fresh nutrients with it and balance the system.
