Indoor Cooters Grows, HLG, Mars Hydro, Ac Infinity

Grow is looking great!

How do you like those hydro halos? I have one on my FBT2201 as well. I've not hooked it up to a pump yet. I just ran the tubing up a stake, stuck a funnel in it, and pour my irrigation into it. I'm planning on using a pump later but it's pretty nice to hand water with as well. That fat tubing holds quite a bit.

If I could pick your brain a bit on the halo setup?

How many halos do you have going or is it just the one?
What size pump are you using?
How do you control the pump? Timer?
Do you use a ball valve to control pressure and flow?

I was planning 3 halos all manifolded off a 185LPH pump on a timer with ball valves. I think that's a correct setup. Just need to test the timer in minute increments and see what volume it actuall puts out.
Missed one of your questions. If running more than 1 halo, yes use ball valves inline b4 the Halos like pictured here. You will have to adjust to get even flow to each pot

Thanks! Planning a test & tune day soon. Build the hoses/valves/rings and set them over some empty buckets, see how much each one fills on a minute of run time. Should be a very fun time. hahaha

One minute will be alot, but, you can control that with the ball valve of course. I always put a "T" inline to with 2 more ball valves so I can recirculate my rez as well
