Large water feed container?

[kushcheese9]

Hi I didnt really know where to post this subject on the forum but I thought it mite be helpfull to me if I posted it on here on the hydrophonic forum ..

i have an 80 litre plastic bin container where I intend to put the correct amount of nutrients per litre of water soo I have feed ready made up to the correct ph level im also using a 10 inch airstone so it has plenty of oxygen.

my question is would I incounter problems like algea buildup etc or inaccurate ph levels ?

Im not using a hydrophonic system im growing in coco soil.

thanks

Is it a large grow or small one?

Only a small grow i have 5 plants curently 5 weeks into vegging. the reason for having a 80 litre water container is my plants are having around 9 litres of nutrients a week each plant so thats 45 litres a week of nutients there goin through there really hungy

as i work long hours it saves me alot of time and messing about with nutirents ph levels etc.

Should be fine. Keep all light from it, by covering it with light proof material, that should keep algae out of it. Might also want to insulate it to keep the water temps down.

Aquarium heater is great for maintaining water temp.
