Here are my plans for a crazy hydro set-up I have created. You will need:
5 gallon bucket w/ lid
air pump w/ tubing
air stone
sub pump w/tubing(not pictured, oops)
reversible zip-ties
3 inch net basket
CD spool lid
First, I cut a hole in the bucket lid so the net basket will rest inside.
Next, I drill three holes in the CD spool lid. I use the flanges as reference points so I know all the holes are evenly spaced.
Then I drill three more holes in the bucket lid. Once again I use the spool flanges as references. Make the holes a little further out though. Take a look at what I mean.
After the holes are drilled, stick three of the reversible zip-ties and put them through the spool lid like so:
Take three more zip ties and cut off the ends that zip.
Feed the zip ties from the spool lid and run them through the bucket lid and secure them with the zip tie ends.
Next step is to attach the air stone. Drill a small hole in the center of the spool lid and stick the end of the air stone through so it sticks out the bottom. Then attach the air tubing.
