indoor Air Cooled 600w HPS Tent w/ Under Current Hydro System

yea, the only thing stopping me is the fact that moving that much water costs to much money lol... assuming you have like a 500-1000gallon system you would want something like a good 1/2 hp energy efficient pool pump (250-400 bucks) that plus a big boy air pump will yank like 10 amps out of your house.
if you got a 2 speed pump, i guess you could set it to run lower at night, but w/e thats still probably going to be atleast 50-100 bucks a month depending on what you pay kw/h wise.
 
"4 buckets-10"

I had a recurc in mind when I commented. I think people get too wrapped around the axel about new stuff (myself included). Take my estimate and add 75 for a 55 gal drum and another 15-20 for PVC and there ya go. 850+ is high, and 1800 is completely rediculous.

If you buy it prebuilt you are gonna spend more. No offense to any vendors, but they are in business to make money. They do extra leg work by putting together a product for the customer that doesn't wanna build it themselves. Because they do so, it costs more. If you want to spend that much money on a system that is prebuilt that is totally ok, but building it yourself you can do it for 500 or 600 dollars depending on your setup. That is a guarantee.
 
Heres a quick update pic

This is awesome. I've never seen a full pepper grow in the under current before. Are you guys still using it? What are you growing now?
 
We had an aphid infestation on these guys last year, and then we did some non super hots for a while. Just got 2 trinidad 7's transplanted into the system and 2 ghosts, will post pics soon.
