    This diaries gone a bit neglected due to seed issues. Also I am finding I presume the clay peddles ( washed etc ) are effecting my ec? Tap water is 0.5 but it goes to 1.5-2 in 24 hours?

    rinse fuck out of the pebbles, like really really rinse them, for at least 20 minutes - half an hour, and then soak them in a tub of water phd to 5.6 , at 5.6 Ph overnight.
    then rinse them again next day, same amount of time.

    It takes a while but will be worth it in the long run, trust me!

    Well it appears I've bought a pish system in all honesty. Not quite sure how it takes so long to level out the water yet or why it's made so you basically loose 50 litres in the tank that can't go into the system through the top up but never mind! This grows been disaster after disaster temps are mental in the water and I'm scares to put an online pump in case the other pipes can't cope.... might attempt it and see if it can cope.

    it will take so long because the diamater of the return pipes.
    You have a large flexi res yes?
    And a small header bucket too, which is filled from the flexi tank via a float valve in the header pot?
    Is this right?
    Ive sent you a pm about setting up the chiller.
    What water temps are you getting?
    If its that bad, you could always insulate the pots with the silver bubble wrap insulation i told you about. It would help with the temps

    Grim mate.
    Some if the cheap systems you can buy just aren't up to the job. Silly really as I've no idea how they expect repeat custom.
