Thanks for the info, I have some work to do. Thanks Redi I'm going to take your advice and fix my plumbing. And Meltdown, I'm going to by the reflective material asap

Thanks meltdown, I didn't think about insulation, I just looked up a video and it would be an easy fix ( which I prefer) , if I insulate my buckets would I be able to drop my water temperature from 86 to around 72? also if I connect the 2 res, then what is the next step? Would it be the line...

Another quick one, so if the water needs to circulate 5 times per hour , would it be If I had 30 x 5 gal buckets = 150 and say 50 gal in my res total is 200gal would it be 200 gal x 5 , so I would need a pump that does 1000gph?

Amazing info. I have one last question? with my buckets as I have it now there is only one line running from the res then to the buckets connected with something that looks like a T inverted (-T-T-T) so the water only goes in the bucket but doesn't exit if I add the return pump will the water...

Thanks Redi Jedi, a few questions?? 1) is there a pump connected to each return line or is there an adapter head that can connect multiple return lines to one pump (suction) 2) how can I choose the right pump? Is there a calculation I can use. Thanks for the info

This is what I'm trying to make

My local hydro store said its not possible without drilling another drain line from each bucket, I'm confused , in the pic is the black lines for air or is that the return line back to the epic res.

The pump is a mag 5 , 500gph. My water chiller is a 1/3 prime it says required flow through of 480gph - 2400gph.

Also can all the tubing be the same size? I used 3/4 yellow tubing for the initial connections.

? Would my new epic Center have to be the same size as my buckets or can it be bigger? If it can be bigger how do I know how much water is in my individual buckets ? Help ???? Sorry stressed out

Thanks so much Soupsah, I'll post pics, when I'm done

Any input is appreciated

I have 4 x 1000 running them horizontal. How could I connect the buckets would it be ( d&p , i&h)

Thanks again Soupsah, if I have one big Center how could I tie the two systems together to pump the water into the big res outside the room, sorry it's confusing

Thanks Soupsah They have some good set ups. im confused about where I put my pump and chiller and where to connect the units

Please see pic : I have 2 reservoirs each one connected to 10 buckets. I am having a water temperature issue so I am adding a chiller, but I was hoping to connect both systems together to now have a RDWC. How would the pros suggest I convert my system and where would I add the hoses connecting...
