I use Care free's pond protector. It is an enzme that cleans up my pipes,rez,and roots. When I was done I just had to hose down the rez to clean it out. JK

Right on, yea I bought a few for the 4x8 trays. I have friends that are raving about them so we will see if they make the cut on my garden, I bought them off their website supposeably they are recyclable

I just got rid of my 4x8 tables and i've never been happier. thos liners look like they are the way to go. I've also noticed ebb & flow gets the table really dirty, to compared to a top feed system because the water level goes up the sides of the trays, then drys, and cakes on. with the top feed the table never gets over an inch high. the top feed allowed me to use up the whole 70gal res in one week without top-ups because its only needs probably 5gallons to run throught the tubing, instead of having to refill it twice during the week with ebb&flow so the pumps dont dry pump because you need like 60gallons to flood the table, then after topping if off twice a week i'd have to drain a full res at the end of the week. I feel your pain, and some does my girl who i gave the tables too, shes cleaning them as we speak

I'm so stoked, I put the liners in last night and flooded the tables without the plants in them. No leaks or anything and the water pushed the liners down inbetween the crevices in the tray for a perfect fit. I think im in love

Wow, you folks are truly lazy...lol
Takes so long to scrub a 4x8...guess i shouldn't be surprised as most of you are automated farmers it sounds like, just giving you folks a hard time.
Guess I'm ole-fashioned I scrub out 50 or more 5gal containers witha vinegar solution every run.

Anyways good luck with the condoms hope they do the trick

all that cleaning is overrated, i just flush my system & its ready to go for next round. a layer of grime likes to build up, but that is a place for your good bacteria to grow!
