    Well here is the deal. imagine a 6 foot by 8 foot (1.5ft deep) tub(root chamber) and a table on top for net pots spaced 1 ft apart. 6*8 = 48 sites. think of this like a huge diy rubbermaid aeroponics but super sized for some monster plants. The reason I want this type of set up is for a reusable 50 gallon rez. I can run plumbing (1/2in or 3/4) to create a watering system. Here is my problem, I don't know what kind of water pump to use to feed the system. Its a large system so i can't base it off any diy articles. I want to run tubing between the net cups with 360 mister tips . so 7 lines need to be run at a distance of 8 feet per line. with a 2 foot rise from the pump. I drew a bad picture of what I am trying to do. Hopefully someone out there can understand and help me. This is the last stage of my grow room design, I dont want to do individual dwc buckets(48 buckets to maintain is allot of work). I'm trying to create a system that works off one rez. Almost 1 year lurking and this is my first post. I have learned allot reading in one year.The drawing is not to size, just there for understand my idea.

  2. What is the size of your grow space?
     
  3. I use tanks also.

    Look at the Pro Pump external models.

    My rig is very similar but I don't use drip or misters (foggers).
