stardog my res looks similar to yours as far as the grommet no? it’s not so much the rez leak I’m worried about,more the aquavalves getting stuck or something,if I get the flood table is it OK to put my res in the tent or do I have to get a table or bucket for that as well outside the tent?

Thats a good idea for your reservoir!

I can’t see a problem with keeping it inside the tent, I’ve a feed bin inside my tent that fills from the reservoir, the idea is the nutrient gets a chance to heat up between feeds.

for my autopot I use that 10ltr tub but i only put 4/5ltr in it every couple of days that also stays in the tent for the nutrient temp.

The only thing I can think of is keep an eye on the nutrient temperatures during summer.

We used them for liquid yeast and sourdough starters when I was a baker. You gotta wail on a loaded one for a long time and a lot of hot dishwasher cycles before they spring a leak, love those things. I wish Rubbermaid would make more things out of the Brute or Roughneck materials

They are awesome. We store our freshly butchered chickens in them with ice for a day before we package them.

Obviously not the same exact ones I use for my resi’s
