Aero Questions. Maybe fog...

[punx777]

I'm thinkin about converting my 15 Gallon DWC Setup to a Aero with a self-contained Res. Anyway...... I have some questions, well whatev ill just start askin.

pump runs constantly?
Do i need to just manually water the rockwool for the first week or what.....
do i need to continue topfeeding?
How many GPH of a pump do i need for a 6' mister 1/2 inch pvc aero manifold

So as i was writin this thread i decided to price a fogger.... Hearing they were over 500 bucks made me shit myself, but then i went on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Head-NUTRAMIS...QQptZLHQ5fDefaultDomainQ5f0QQsalenotsupported
and found this 1 head fogger for ony 37 BUCKS! Nutramist...... Is this all i need? I may go with fog just because of how cheap that is,

Almost dead set on buying that fogger now, with a float. unless i hear any objections on here. its a 15 gallon dwc, surely this will make enough fog...

You'll be fine and if nothing else, what you got will be a good start.

One thing i would caution about is rez temp. It will heat up your solution. Either a cooler or larger volume will probably be in order. Keep an eye on it.

ps Nifty cooler solution
