Is it possible to hook up less than eight buckets to the water tank, for example four units only connected to the main water tank?

Yes, you plumb them yourself so you can use however many you want. Just adjust nutrients accordingly.

I dont see why not! just make sure the units are circulating the nute solution

Yes, you can hook up as many as you like. My last crop consisted of 5 buckets and I have used as few as 3.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

Possible. But my experience is you lose a lot if water pressure in to the 2nd set. You could put a"y" on the water hose and put 1 string on each connections on the "y". That would keep pressure constant.

That is a good question...when I researched this item in order to setup a system that would allow me to fill my own tank without having a home delivery service do it (I found out that home delivery is against city ordinance and strictly forbidden) or drive my RV to a filling station (an arduous task for sure) I ran into a system employing a distribution tree with three appliances being supplied. So, yes, you can connect a distribution tree and service up to three (I believe that this is the limit of a distribution tree) appliances at one time.

No, but you can hook a hose up to it for continuous drain and feed the hose into the drain and this will eliminate the emptying bucket.

You can connect a hose and put the hose in a drain. Never have to empty the bucket again!

i used 2 gal buckets and am new to this so really can't help you but would like the answer as well. i would love to try to PVC pipe....that looks way better.

I've never tried it. The catch bucket seems to be passive, but might engage some switches when it's in place, without which the unit won't run.

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

I don't know. You are probably better off getting 2 or 3 smaller ones and connecting with tees. The 10 gal satsified our volume needs, but does not have the pressure of the smaller ones for some reason.

You can use two buckets at a time however you would need to run the additional two air hoses into the buckets in use by drilling an additional hole for the air line in the top of two buckets or connect the two air lines not in use to the air lines in use by a "t" fitting. The 4 air outlets on the air pump are always on. They cannot be shut off individually.

Yes but capacity becomes an issue. I piped 2small propane tanks togeather and use them as auxiliary air storage when I'm using a lot of air

yes. the display area is smaller than a typical 16 gallonl fresh water set up. But it will look super sexy with all the wires and tubes, heaters, etc behind the display area.

a double tank adapter with a hose to the other tank, but not recommended could be dangerous check with a local tech in your area.

I don't think there's a way to do it. You would need to fill the unit with water, but it is a sealed unit with no visible way to add more water.

You probably could, if you put a splitter fitting on the inbound water line before you connect it. Finding the right fitting might be a chore though. There's no option for an additional sprayer the way it comes.

Yrs you can. Just make sure that you connect the correct sizes to make sure you get the flow you need. I currently have three systems in one with a single timer.
