the key is water volume and water changes.

I'm going to put mine, the tower and a few branching pieces in an 80lt bucket with a power head and change the water every second day.

That should be ok eh?

yes thats about what i am doing, i have a 32G trash can with a pump for water movement and empty often- it varies for me... just as long as you dont get that thick ice looking build up on top of the water- this happens when the water settles- also let the water settle for 24-48hrs before testing ph

chris,

how did your turn out ?

Dry lol

I was away for a month and my daughter banged into the bucket it was in and burst it.

I have been massively busy lately so took me a while to get a water butt sorted and done but its all back in with 50G of fresh water and getting changed out every 2-3 days.

Still seeing a ph of 9+ after 3 days at the moment.
