    Via Aqua 302 & 305 aquarium and fountain submersible water pump.

    here's a link. We use the 302 pump in a 10 gallon tub to drip for 6 plants.

    FastGardens.com : 6 plant drip system

    Here is the system we bought first and then made our own for half price. The pump could be put in a rez and feed 5 gallon buckets that gravity flow back to rez. The possibitlities are endless Throw an air stone in and you can cut the punp off when roots are in the rez water.

    Thanks! Do you leave the pump on all the time or 15 min 3 times a day?

    On those drip systems 15 minutes on 45 minutes off. It's what works best but also 30 minutes on and 90 minutes off works well in veg too. An air stone is a big plus but the splashing water is what puts the oxy in it.
