Aeroponics and root rot just dont go together, like military and intelligence.. For root rot to have a chance in a highly oxygenated solution, the temperature of the solution has to make it so the water is not retaining much O2.
Now Im curious as to how you are measuring your Res temperature?
There is about 5 gallons total in the bottom of 10 buckets. So 25 gallons in the res... that's plenty and a lot more than something like an Aeroflow. *shrugs*
