35 Gallon Bubblepoincs

[bigweedo]

What's up guys,
So I bought a brown 35 gallon rubbermaid and cut 4 holes in the top. I have a 60 gallon fish oxygen pump, and a 250GPH water pump. I have 4 tubes coming from the pump that pump water/nutrient into each pot. The pots are 5.5 mesh pots that I put in the holes. My question is, if I'm changing the res. every 7-9 days, what should my water level be at? 10-15 gallons maybe? What would you guys recommend?
Thanks,
BW

That is gonna depend on the size of your plants... The bigger they are, the more they are gonna drink. Not to mention as your plant takes up water, it most likely wont take up nutrients at the same rate. So you will need plenty of water to slow your changes in PPM and PH as the water is taken up....

Basically it is gonna be a Play it as ya go thing .

Thanks for the quick response. Any suggestion to start out with?? I was thinking 15 gallons.

Sounds like a good place to start

the more gallons you use , the easer it is to maintain your nute numbers. If I had that size , I would go with 15 gal. let those roots stretch for the "bubbled" 15 gallons a little , it will do them good. Hope that helps and good luck.........PEACE
