OK with all somehow we lost power here for about 2 hours right in the middle of the lights being on in my veg room and flower room. I hope all is well but I'll post an update on water day in 2 days! Thanks for following along

Should be fine, happend to me, id be more worried about the back flow on the air hoses. mount it up high or buy the valves.

you'll wake up to gallons of water on the floor and could get shocked if your air pump is still plugged in....

I may have been misleading i have an 1100 gph pump and a 700 gph pump. My 1100 is very loud and vibrates so much the rubber bases are getting ground into rubber dust

Where did u even find a pump that size? I just got the 4 out let pimp from the local hydro store and put 2 stones in each bucket

Here's my big pump its actually 1157 gph and my 700 is more like 750 so i guess its 1900 gph total

Both were purchased at a local grow store. The smaller pump was $45 and the big one was $60 but the big pump can be heard humming no matter where i go in my house and its in in my basement on the floor with a towel under it to stop it from grinding its own shoes into dust

At one point in time i had my 750 gph running one 3.5 gallon bucket like what you're using. you could put your hand over the hydron and feel a breeze coming from the bucket

The root ball on the babies are about the size of a softball and stringing against the bottom of the bucket, the big girls (I have 2) have completely filled the 5 gallon buckets amd the air stones are nearly covered by roots and the stalks are the size of a half dollar or so
