I am thinking to substitute colloidal silver for H2O2 in the res, not just to purify the mix, but hopefully allow the plants to absorb a little as a mold/fungus preventative. Has anyone out there tried this? I realize that this may kill off some beneficial bacteria in the substrate, but so does H2O2. December 29, 2019 at 11:42PM Read more about this fix

Sup everyone, welcome to thread that will contain the journey of this LPA build and setup and prob its inaugural run.

So I've completed my 5 tote system with waterfalls in each tote. I did a leak test and noticed my waterfall pump drained my res before my chiller pump could fill it back. My questions are did this only happen bc I only partially filled my totes? Or do I need equally strong pumps on each end?

I bought a AQUATEC CDP 8800 high flow booster pump to run a hpa setup. If a hpa only runs every 5 minutes for 5 seconds why is a accumulator recommended? That doesn't seem like it would be taxing for this pump. The pump is only a hundred bucks and if I can get a grow out of one it would be worth it to me replacing it every grow. It seems like a lot easier than dealing with solenoids and accumulators. Thanks for your help David
