If you would like your lids to come with the 3 small holes drilled for securing the net pot via zip ties please choose the "Yes" option. We will drill them and secure with zip ties.
Otherwise, lids will ship with the standard 8" hole for the net pot and the appropriate number of zip ties to later be installed as you see fit (no zip-tie holes pre-drilled!).
This PA Hydroponics MINI 8 Gallon Waterfall system is designed to fit in a 4x4 or 5x5 Gorilla Grow Tent with the reservoir out of right side of the tent and flows back with 3" PVC for clog free growing! It will need assembly but all hole and tube cutting and pvc glueing will be already done by Gary himself. Please allow a week for construction on these systems! This system can be put together without any tools and is ready to go. Water flows from the outside reservoir thru 3/4 inch tubing and pours into top of the 8 gallon grow chambers with an inline 400 Gallon per hour pump, each plant site will get about 100 gallons of nutrient solution per hour which should keep it stirred up for even PH balancing and mixing. Included in the kit is a 265 GPH bottom draw pump with 10 feet of 1/2 inch tubing used to drain the system and reservoir. Each plant site has an airstone and 10 feet of airline to run to a 4 output air pump that's included. All you need is Clay rocks, nutrients and starter plants and you will be growing in the best system that we have ever built! Please watch our full assembly video to see how to put this together and to fill and drain this system - this does NOT come with any printed instructions! Thanks for watching :)
This system kit includes:
5 - 8 gallon buckets - drilled
1 - reservoir lid
4 - 8" custom built bucket lids - pre assembled
- waterfall tubing manifolds and 400 gallon per hour pump - tubing mostly assembled
- 4 output air pump with 10' tubing and air stones
- custom built 3" pvc return pipes all glued and ready
- water level indicator for reservoir
- 265 gallon per hour system drain pump with 10' hose
- 3 complimentary hose clamps
This system is totally drilled and ready to fit perfectly into a 4x4 Gorilla Grow Tent, it IS possible to fit into other brand tents that have similar placed duct ports.
ASSEMBLY TIPS AND HOW TO FILL:
- Use hot water for the soft tubing! This expands the tubing which helps it go on better and also helps it seal better on barbed fittings as it cools back down.
- On the 3 inch pipes the large rubber washer goes on the outside of the buckets.
- Lean the hump piece over as much as your tent hole will allow for smoother operation.
- IMPORTANT! When you fill the system, fill it to the bottom of the hump inside and out, then turn on waterfall (this will burp out the air in the hump piece)
- Your reservoir will run lower than the plants sites, top off the water level till it touches your starter plants roots to get started, later you can let the water level go down when roots are established.
- I usually don't use hose clamps on any of our systems and have had minimal problems, some people do add hose clamps to our systems that is up to you. We included a few incase you need some.
- Don't snap shut the plant root access flaps! They are very hard to reopen!
- If your flaps start to loosen at the joint you can put on a strip of Gorilla tape or electrical tape to strengthen it up.
- Please watch our videos on Fallponics for assembly :) Thanks. And don't forget to tag us! #FALLPONICS - Gary :)

4 plant hydoponics
The kit was perfect, it came in one box well packaged and after watching the video, was super easy to setup. The only issue I had was I had no warning about the lids for the buckets. When I securely fastened them, they were almost permanently on, after taking the pull tab off, I was still barely able to open the smaller part of the lid to add or look into the bucket. Not a big deal, just a warning if you secure the lids. Otherwise it’s running perfect and already have transplanted and are super happy plants

Pretty good!
This is my first rdwc/fallponic system and overall I am very pleased. The packaging was great aside from the clay pellets. I made the mistake of ordering the kit with clay pellets and as the YouTube video suggests, it’s def better to order without and just go to the store and pick some up. With that said my only other negative critique is that the price of tubing for the water pump for the control bucket was missing. At first I thought it was a big deal, but I just ended up cutting tubing off the preconfigured tubing. On to the positives. It appears that all the materials in this setup are top notch. I has prbably will get a bigger air pump for the stones but this definitely gets you started. I had some leaking issues at first setup but it I believe it was because some of the bulkheads weren’t tight enough. I recommend definitely double and triple checking tightness of bulkheads before filling with water. I spent a lot of time with towels in the dryer trying to correct this. In the end evrything is set up and working great now as described. Last but not least definitely but the bottom drain kit because it really is a pain to drain the water. After 2 water changes, I can’t do it anymore so I ordered the kit and am waiting for it to get here to install. I foresee that after plants get big enough, it would be too heavy and cumbersome trying to drain water without disturbing the plants. Overall great product. Word to the wise don’t get clay pellets (hydroton) but definitely get the bottom drainage kit!

4 Plant Fallponic
Thank you Gary, this is a great system you built. Instructions were very clear, took me about an hour to build and 100% leak-free. Can't wait to start growing. Will recommend for sure :) I used a vivosun 48x48x80 tent. The system measured roughly 34 1/2" X 39 1/2" on the inside tanks which left plenty of extra space for the other things I needed in the tent. I did have to cut a small hole for the elbow to the reservoir in order to get the result I wanted, but it fits without doing so.

Mini 8 gallon
It's a good system. I had a problem with leakage on the outside reservoir. Bucket. I used plumbers tape and silicone. It was only the holes where the water level kit and the top off kit are. I won't need to change these out so it wasn't a problem for me. If it didn't have a leak I would have gave this 5 stars. Gary was very helpful and answered all my questions. Definitely worth the buy. Especially since Gary is so helpful. I would also get the 13 gallons if you want big huge plants. This is great for beginners.
