I'm running 2 5 gallon buckets connected together. I made a riser/ dark insulated cover for main grow bucket. My grow tent is small (16x16x48), so I've wanted to try dwc but with such a small tent a reservoir would take most of the space.  By having the grow reservoir below the tent with only the plant inside should allow me a little bigger plant.  The bucket outside is my access reservoir.  I have a 150gph fountain pump in there pumping the water back to the grow reservoir and it sprays on the bottom of the net pot.  I'm running a total of 8 gallons nutrient solution in the reservoirs.

Since this is my first real attempt,  I'm using General Hydroponics maxi- grow and maxi- bloom, superthrive, southern ag garden friendly fungicide(similar to hydro guard only more concentrated) and blue planet cal-mag+. I have the reservoir ph'd to 5.8.

Here's hoping this trial run is a success!!
