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!!

Small is an understatement! 16x16....wow.
Not sure why you decided to go with a separate res.
Usually, single buckets are DWC, not RDWC. That way the plant bucket is your res, and all you need is a good air stone and pump.
Not knockin your setup at all. I'm just a "simpler is better" kinda guy.
Lookin forward to pics of the grow. You'll fill that space up quick!
