    Nice, how big is the room your in? How many gallons in the total system? Do you run anything in your "sauce" to prevent any root infections? I'd imagine your running HPS, thus the cooler?

    I run all COB LEDS, cree cxb 3590's with dwc in scrog and highest water temps are now hitting 74f, bit higher than I'd like, but I'm fine with.

    I like the system, it looks professional. Do you have multiple 8 site systems?

    The room is about 13×13, I'm just using 2 4ft 8 bulb t5 for the veg.
    My other room has 6 600w hps for flower. I use the current culture nutes, the full line. Uc roots is the product they make to keep the roots clean and healthy and I must say so far I'm very pleased. I run the water chiller at 68°, this is the recommended temperature by current culture. The low Temps in the water help keep away bad bacteria is what they tell me...

    I would be interested in your wattage to yield #'s with a nice hydro system.

    20160805_152058.jpg Little update on the cooling system. now cooling 2 uc8xl systems with one chiller. By using a stainless steel cooling coil in each epicenter. Decided to go with an old chest freezer for the reservoir for its insulation properties and its size holding about 90 gallons. leaves me room to expand when I upgrade my Chiller. Insulated all water lines. I decided to also make thermal jackets to go around each bucket to help with insulation. Also moved the chiller out of the room because it puts off some serious heat.
