The "Madman goes Aero" building thread

[latewood]

Any of you know where to get rectangular plastic pipe/PVC? I'd like to build a NFT system but I haven't found a good source for the pipe.

Also wanting to build an aero (cloner) system but not sure how to pick the right pump. I'm sure it's based on the diameter of the pipes and the number of sprayers involved...if anyone can show me the math I'd appreciate. I'm always impressed with your projects latewood.

As far a s math for pump...that is Zandor's department...I would have to ask, how many sprinkler heads you are going to run...for instance, Z runs a 526gph
submersible powerhead/pump for 80 plants/full drip
How many cuttings do you want to root each cycle...too small a pump won't spray and too big will blow pieces apart or bogdown pump with backpressure.

I bought 8 little giant pumps off ebay (7) 90-110gph he dripped with and (1) 250gph??? that he used to top-off main res...I'll let you know how they pump after I get them and how many lines you can run and still keep good pressure on the line..OK.lw

The "Madman goes Aero" building thread I would like to request that you view, but, PLEASE DO NOT reply to this thread until I can finish Phaze1 tonight :) I would like to post all the build in real-time order before we start comments. Thanks, for all your cooperation ahead of time! :cool: I have been threatening to build a system. Well, I started tonight. I am going to build the 1st Phaze of a 3-4 Phaze system; that will be powered by a 600 gph 1/2 hp clear water pump.. I am tired of lugging water and nute solution around Rating: 5
