Res Tank Size

[rickyroo]

Hey guys,

 

When i first set up my system i was told the container im using for my res was 60 litres.. So ive always mixed the nutes to the strength of a 60L tank. I was just filling up my new res for my mother which is a small black container which says 60L.. There is a huge difference in size between the 2 reservoir's they cant both be 60L? Anyone else using the same res and know what size it is? Filling the tank up 2L at a time would be a real pain in the ass

 

Cheers,

 

Ricky

Best way to find go to bunnings and get a 10lt bucket that has the markings on the inside to tellu how much u have in there and then u can get a rough idea of how much will hold using 10lts at a time...

That black one would look to be about 60l, that blue sucker is most definately a 44gallon or 205l drum.

 

Screw the filling with a bucket method. Just use a calculator. approximate or measure the length width and depth in centimeters, then divide it by 1000 to get the volume in litres. add a slight fudge factor for the tapered base which will give you a rough idea. It would be 60 to 70L i reckon.

That means my plants are not getting anywhere near as much nutes as it needs

Yeps. That black one is a 60 Lt. I have one myself. Cost me all of 10 bux too.

If its rated at 60Lt, theres a good chance youll never fill it to the brim

if so replace it with a FOOD GRADE tub , the recycled shit tubs leach into the nutes then into the plants then into you man ,

cheap is not always best .

I got the black container in a kit from a hydro shop.. I dont think he would have sold it if the container wasn't suitable, the guy has not done me wrong yet
