Cheers Bilbo, i'll be keeping the chiller bucket outside the cab and am looking at this for insulation :

Thanks for stopping by

That's good stuff! I'll be using it on my next DWC. Be sure to do the bottom of the bucket too.
Cheers FreeLivin
The hose arrived so the system is setup, i'm just monitoring the levels in case one pump is noticeably stronger than the other.
A REAL pain in the arse to balance both flows :

This is why a single pump is better. Dual pumps are always a pain in the ass, and if one fails, you'll have a flood. But when you can't keep both res on the same level there are not many options except to make it a flood and drain.
Yes but i need two pumps for this setup
Yeah lots to ponder!
Cheers Chaps,

Hey Steely, I understand. Just giving you food for thought for the future.

New plan - too hard to balance the flow!
The chiller bucket pumps mix into the dwc bucket.
I cut an overflow hole into the dwc and pipe it into the chiller, so the outflow is turned on and off naturally at the right time.
I use the other pump to circulate the dwc.

She's grown half an inch in 12 hours !
Lots of growth the last four days, here's a day 15 and day 19 comparison :
I can't use the new plan since the overflow has to be level with or downhill to the chiller bucket, so i would need a series of holes down the side of the cabinet to run the tubing through as the plant gets taller and i move her shelf down .. lol the intricacies of all this are frustrating in a fun way!
I think it's best to incorporate the chilling into the auto topping up, so i'm going to take apart the dehumidifier today and take photos as i go in case anyone else needs to go down this route!
