    I fitted frankie with a recirculating reservoir and a water heater.

    Whats the recomended temperature for the solution?

    water should be 68 degrees for maximized oxygen uptake
     
    you can add a very light dose of nutes, just enough to be in there.
    if you have amino acids they are really good for getting baby plants going.

    You may as well unplug the water heater, you want cool water.  68F or under.

    Also, is it an old refrigerator?? Badass idea, I like how you can use the old shelving as kind of a screen or screen holder! Any filters on it or is smell not a factor for your grow?
