"pumpkin2006"..."I hate to say it, but are you gonna paint those buckets black?, at least the inside?..."Are you still going to feed from the top?"

Yes once the testing is all done and I'm sure it's running right I will be wrapping the buckets in reflectix. I have 2 rolls ready for it. This time everything is getting wrapped. I will use the drips during the first of the grows until the roots are in the water. I have 2 choices...one is to use the regular drippers that come with it, the air lift ones. The second is to add a pump and install a dripper system from the res. which will further the circulation too. I will wait to see what I do I have the time.

"origref"..."So which bulkhead fittings did you end up using? Also how are you going to incorporate your chiller? And lastly do you plan on any filtering for your chiller?

I found a local manufacture that sold all sizes from 1/2" to 4" bulkheads. They cost me $4 ea. which is about 1/3 the cost everywhere else I looked. My chiller is in another room. I will drop a pump in the res and return to the chiller. Keeping the res cool will cool it all very well since it recirculates so well. I usually don't filter my chiller water although I know I should...the place with the bulkheads has every type of in-line filter I would need. Perhaps I'll do that...
