I went to walmart and couldn't find 1/4" tee connectors for my air pump. I also wanted to know if you can use these same tee's for water pumps too.

I have a dual outlet pump and want to run 4 air stones in each 22Gallon reservoir(using a dual outlet pump and 2 tees to run the 4 stones in each)


Thanks in advance.

Home Depot, Lowe's, or any sprinkler supply will have them, and yes you can use them for both air and water. Did you get your air pumps yet? If not, try to get something quiet.

I have one so far(still researching and designing my final setup. link in my sig shows pictures. I'm switching from soil to DWC and built my first tote the other night going to try 5 raspberry cough clones and 4 Ice clones for my first try at dwc. Doing 0 veg straight to 12/12 when rooted. I have 5 weeks at least before my LA Woman mom and clones are harvested. Hope this works out, I'm looking forward to the switch.

Thanks for the Vent Chart FloGro, I picked up a 850cfm fan and was wondering how the speed controllers worked, are they adjustable to any speed or just 3-low,med.,high?

Thanks for the replies guys. I just filled my DWC up to see how it worked but definitely need another air stone or two and I think it will work great. I'm using about 19-20 gallons of water. My rooms usually stay around 75-81*F with lights on and around 60*F with lights out. Do you guys think my res will stay cool 65-70*F when the lights are on or will I need a way of cooling it you think?

Some have set speeds - low. med, high
And others have a dial like a dimmer for a light.......just turn up/down to your liking.
Then there's a day/night model with different temperature settings.
You just have to shop around for the model you think will suit your specific grow needs.

Oh hell Doc.
More stones.
My coolers are 12gal with 10gal of solution and I use 1/2 gal frozen water bottles every 24hrs to keep temps 62F - 68F.
You should be able to use a 1gal Ocean Spray bottle with 2lbs of fishing weight ( 4 - 8oz weights bcuz I use 2 ) in them to keep them stationary in the rez.
That or most def a chiller in your rez.
That's more $ added to your overhead, so the frozen bottles are cheap and effective if you have the time everyday for a 5 minute exchange.
