PH goes up fast DWC

This was my first attempt at a large volume setup.
I later went with this

Pro: A larger volume of water will be PH stable over a longer time.

You will not need to check on it as often.

You may be able to get away with reservoir changes for up to 10 days.

Con: It will require more nutrients to reach your desired PPM $$$

You will not be checking on it as often and may miss a problem that harms the plants.

Plants in rapid growth may deplete a nutrient component to levels that will slow it down. This is the main reason for weekly reservoir change.

Having a separate tank for mixing is much harder and mixing in a live system is dangerous.

You will have a lot more waste to dispose. I use mine in my yard and 3 gallons twice a week is a lot for our yard.

When I was using 36 gallons a week for 6 plants it was very expensive for nutrients and I had to flush a lot of waste down the drain. This is not environmentally sound.

I am not saying you cannot do it, I just want you to be aware of the facts before you get into it.
