I have 2 airstones at the bottom of each bucket with a 100 gallon pump powering them.

When I do add fresh water to the resevoir I pour it down on through to clay pellets. I do this about once a day. Hand watering it is fine, but in the future i plan to get another pump and make a top feed recirculating DWC.


I am still new to the dwc and i hand water everyday to top off the buckets. Ive had fine results with doing it that way. If i dont top off with water and stablize ph at least once a day, leaves get burned.
