    If anyone knows, I'm curious as to how it can rain freshwater without over-flowing or lowering the SG. Or would it work after evaporation only? I assume censors?

    I don't know, but my guess they timed the flow to match the evap rate (kind of like what you do with dosing pumps).

    Possibly the world's coolest ATO? It would equate to adding RO for evap I guess, probably a float switch that turns it on/off.

    It's probably not even enough to satisfy the ATO needs. I bet it's just a supplement. A freaking super cool supplement!! Someone posted it earlier. I dreamed about it all night last night lol.

    Len,

    Do you recall who has that lighting system that simulates lightning? Can you imagine putting the rain with the lightning????

    AI Sol has that, and they have the lightning with the LEDs from what I understood.

    Yep, AI Sols have a lightning setting. I have no idea what system this German LFS used, but my bet is it's custom.
