Okay, aside from what I have..The storage space within my shed has about 20' x 10' left inside of it..THUS, I need some help coming up with a custom ebb and flow system..Preferablly with 4'x8' trays..4 of them :roll:. If anybody can help me in piecing together a system or knows what to do in a situation of this scale, Id love some help.
 
Not a problem, I do it for a living. That's a nice sized space, and 4 large beds would be really nice, but first things first, you need a lot of power. You'll need ~8 1kw lamps, so you'll need at least 100 amps. Do you have that?

HTH :mrgreen:
 
Hmm..Not sure. What can run off of a 13, 000 watt constant generator? Also, how much would it cost to maintain about 9-10k watts coming out of it constantly in gasoline? Bleh..More questions...
 
The gen will cost you in gas for sure.More then regular electricity but it wont be monitored.You got the watts from the gen as long as its enough am in its breakers.Most gens gas tanks allow for 8-10 hours max running so I assume you ll have a huge tank of gas retro fitted someplace outside so figure what couple hundred gallon a month
 
LoL...

You don't need 8 1000 watt bulbs..

And you can run power outside.. A generator is way too pricy, and loud, and just bound for problems..

Get buckets, 3 pumps, airstone, and a res.

Easy Does it..
 
You can make good use of that space if you want. I don't have potroasts experience, I do have a room about that size. He is right you will need to have the power necessary to run it. I believe it would cost less to run the service to the building then it would to buy a generator. When I set mine up had 200amp service run. Cost from the utility company was a little over $600.00. I paid an electrician $100.00 to pull a permit. Probably spent about $1000.00 or so on material and hand tools. Electrician estimated it would have been $3000.00 to $4000.00 total so I didn't do too bad. If that fits in your budget we can talk some more about it. VV
