Few questions about EBB & GRO bucket system setup

[keylime]

Thaks for all the input guys:thumbsup:
I just have a few more questions and ill be on my way..
If I plan on running 9 buckets, how big should my res be?
And what size pumps should I get for the res and controller bucket?
Should the pump in the CB be smaller than the res pump?
I just want to get the right equipment the first time and do it.
I also want to get decent sized pumps in case I want to expand my system

The size of your buckets dictate the size of the res. If you have 9 5gal buckets, 9x5 and one control bucket, so a total of 50 gallons, minus the space taken up by your hydroton. Pumps are generally 300 gph or in that range. If you want to fill faster, you might try a higher pump, but I really don't think that's necessary or desirable. I have a total of 28 3gal buckets running that size water pumps.

Few questions about EBB & GRO bucket system setup Hi all, Im planning on starting my first hydro grow here pretty soon and im going to be using a DIY EBB & GRO system.

Anyways i need help understanding how the grow buckets should be connected together. Do i just drill 2 holes in the bottoms of the buckets on opposite ends except for Rating: 5
