Well bro, Have you decided on a method to use or are you looking for a setup idea? If your looking for some ideas I would have to agree with cheapo on the bubbler setup. However, I wouldn't use the 5 gallon bucket though.
See if you can find a 35 gallon plastic barrel, I think that would be about a perfect size for that. Get a 8" or a 10" netpot and put into the top. You may be able to get by with a 55 gallon plastic drum but I think that would be a little big.
Whichever you decidee to go with, get a couple good airpump and put plenty of bubbles into that baby. I think it would be KICK-ASS.....

I was thinking about sinking a 35gl poly in the yard and what method to use I'm unsure of yet
heat and wind in the summer says I need something flowing often to keep her happy
I can run it like a waterfarm, drip or flood n drain
I'm just starting my 1st hydro setup now to learn for next spring :)

try a 5 gallon bucket bubbler for your first time.....
very simple cheap setup and can run on auto pilot for days if need be
i think a F&D would be a pain outdoors...not flood's enough on hot days and to much on cold days:hmmmm:
just my thought

Yep. Imagine what this would have been like if it was flood n drain.

I'm running the Waterfarm 8 this grow and I like how it works so far
