Love it. Really liking the bucket setup, I am growing dwc for my next grow but I'm curious about your drain fromy the 2 raised bubble buckets to the res. Is that a passive flow into the res or is it pumped?

Passive.. kinda. I have one pump for water that pulls from the bottom of the rez bucket. From the bottom of the rez bucket, water is pumped back up, rains over the root balls and drips back into the grow buckets. Water is pulled from the grow buckets into the rez bucket by the water pump in the rez bucket. I've been running the water constantly while the lights are on, so probably turning the entire water system over a few times during an 18hr. light cycle. Water is off when lights are off.

I made one change so far. Those micro diffuser rings in the bottom of the grow buckets didn't work so well. One kept losing suction and floating to the top and they didn't seem to put out much air anyway. I switched over to regular large cylindrical air stones, they churn the water very well.
