Hydroponics made simple, By MimbresValley

Thanks for that!

I tried to reply there, but it erased the message when i tried to send it. :wtf:

I am actually running something similar and didn't know it.
I use a homemade venturi that injects into the main reservoir of my rdwc.
I have been getting some of that foam on top of my control reservoir. I have just been manually skimming this off with a mesh strainer.

Do you think I should be fine the way I am doing it now, or should I build a separate skimmer set up?

Sorry for all the questions, but greatly appreciated! :hippy:

+ rep for sure. :D

You have to be a ninja to send emails here :stoned:

No exactly sure what exactly a bio scrubber is, lol :D haha

Im picturing the thing with the filter for fish tanks that moves water through it slowy? Can buy at wally world and such.

If thats what you are talking about, I have actually wondered the same thing myself.

I know lots of people will put a sponge type material, I believe its a koi pad(or something like that) in the water because some microbes are broken apart by the impeller on the pumps, and having those koi pad things keep the filimanet fungus all together. also lavarock seems better than hydro clay when using microbes, as it gives place for them to latch on.

As for the venturi, I think that the foam (may?) contain some nutrients as well. due to nutrient fall out from the fine bubbles.(did you watch the movies on the link I gave you?)

The one thing i would wonder is if the bio scrubber would remove any nutrients? if not seems like a good thing, catch any dead roots and such, and prevent bio film.= )

Keep me posted on any info you find, or experiments with this. Im very interested. srry didnt feel like spell checkin. .hahaha

Yup I watched the videos.
Bio Scrubber is just something I pulled out of my head that sounded good. :stoned:

I was also wondering how much nutrients you might lose with the venturi method. One thing I can say though, is my ec stays pretty constant in accordance with water usage.

I think I may build an external venturi filter for my next grow and see what happens. :detective1:

I may even pick up on of those aquarium filters to try out this grow.

Will everyone stop by over here and give U.G.U some love.
