: : : : i modified the 11 plant garden and made it an 16 plant garden. what size does the nutrient tank need to be? : : : : : : I have an aero/hydro hybrid and 1-1.5 gal/plant site works for me. : : 1-1.5 gallon tank isn't going to work for a ebb and flow Ron's Type system. : : You need to figure out how much fluid your bottles will hold, and allow at least another couple of inches in your resevior for the pump to hand onto while it's overflowing back into your resivior. : : You can always go larger, and have more then neccisary. I use a 15 gallon resivior and have 7 gallons of nutrients in it. I check my Nutrient strength level every other day to make sure it doesn't get to strong and create Nutrietn burn, and also, I change out my nutrients every 2-3 weeks. : : Good Luck! : I think he meant estimate 1 to 1.5 gal. per plant site to calculate the size of nutrient tank needed. : 16 plant system x 1 = 16 gal : 16 plant system x 1.5 = 24 gal : so he would need a 16 to 24 gal nutrient tank
