if your using h202 theres not to much to worry about with res temp. lower is good 60-70. but with the ebb it should get plenty of air in between waterings. so as long as the res is lower than 80 your fine. the general accepted h202 amount is about a tablespoon of 35% H2o2 (Horticultural Grade) per 55 gallons, once a day. **this is full strength application, only when plants are big enough to handle it. usually the beginning of flower, or shortly before.

I disagree with this, im a old school vet of H202 and 28% h202 is what grow stores carry and with 28% h202 you need to be adding 200ML every three days
for it to be affective, anything over 28% to sell you need a atf exsposive liciense. I have seen it but it rare and 1 tbs every day aint going to be enough. air
yes I run x4 stone in my res! res temp over 75f is no good you could be using bleach/H202/ compost tea It dont matter you will have issues. and to say 80f
is ok make me wonder your expert knowledge of hydro! not trying to single you out, I just got to call it how it is.

agreed, my resi wasnt even at 80 last grow and i had allot of problems with the roots while adding h202. now that the res is mid 60's im confident that i could stop using h202 all together and be fine but i still run it as a preventative measure.

At 80F the water cannot hold enough oxygen to support your beneficial microorganisms (if you have them) .. it becomes anaerobic and that is when the anaerobic bacteria take over and make poopjuice from your nutes.

I've noticed it takes a ton of h2o2 to be effective. It's going to cost too much for me to run it, so I'm using bennies now.

yah when I was using h202 I was hiting it with 200 to 250 ML for 55gal every 2 to 3 day and I had x3 res tanks thats alot of h202 lol

Yeah, each liter around here is like $20. Then I would use probably 2-3 bottles per res, per grow. I think bennies will end up being cheaper, but we'll see.

this is unfortunate for us --- pride shouldn't determine the price of a product.

odd, I asked the home depot guy if they had check valves and he showed me some sump pump check valve, this dude was like Mr home depot too :/
he helped me find the shit for at least 2 hydro systems and that was his dept, I'll have a look next time I'm in there.

update,i went to lowes as well,they have the 3/4,and the 1/2in barbed reducer is right next to them,you have to look in the irrigation section by the rainbird sprinkler stuff,i know what you mean about home depot i.e.usually everthing im lookin for is out of stock,
the plumbing dept guy at home depot,told me they no longer carry the 1/2 in check valve,go figure
good luck
