@2-Scoops I like the look of that.
Bigger tank will help.
For less than £50 it saves a lot of arsing about.
@Marcus they've even changed Scooby Doo. I found that hard to take.

50 to 80 liter brummie bubbler would also rock it up in those spaces with a few plants in, ive never used one but i can`t see it being too noisey, works on same principles to a wilma set up so you you would know what do straight from the word go. Cheap set up costs

Nft > noiseier than DWC.
I'm using air stone's in the Wilma and being a beginner I want to stick to that style till I'm competent with it.
I'm thinking maybe making a two plant system with storage boxes. Just need a pump and drippers. The pump I've got for the airstones is big enough to run both tent's. I'm using the 60cm for clones and seedlings so hand watering will be ok.

Check the 2 plant brummie bubbler out in the first link at top of page, it sure it sounds like summink your after if its summink slightly different for 2 plants, tbh its virtually a wilma but the brummie bubbkler has been around for donks prolly longer than wilma, looks easy to build your own i would think but for what they cost, i`d just buy one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... r&_sacat=0

Coco and perlite or straight coco is way to go in your system, fuck clayballs, you`ll notice a difference in size of plants straight away, maybe do a side by side hey so your 100% sure. I used to run clayballs and rockwool in clayballs mix in auto-pots then i discovered coco and ive never looked back as saying goes
Hey mate. I've ordered the Brummie.

@2-Scoops the Brummie arrived today. Looks good. Just need to drill a few holes in the pots and good to go.
Sweet Afghani Delicious will be the maiden voyage.

@Smelierjoint The Brummie bubbler would be ideal for your flowering space.
I'm using one at the moment.
The only thing I would say is ditch the watering rings for drippers.
Still a bargain for less than £50.
Drill a load of holes in the trough and fire it up
Plants grow big in these set ups. I've been looking at weed porn
Two plants in and your QBs over them you'll smash it.

Why was the wilma changed tho? you can fit a wilma in a 80x80?
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

I've got two tent's now so I'll still be using Wilma.
Once you drill holes and add airstones there basically the same thing.
I was going to recommend using pebbles but thought I might get hit by the coconut Mafia

I used to run a wilma with holes drilled, airstones and ontop airpots filled with clay ball things. It worked AMAZINGLY fast. Basically a brummy ubbler wilma conversion.
I wouldnt use coco in a brummy tbh.
