Hey rdwc and UC community.
I am building an 8 site undercurrent ie 4 x 2, so my garden is longer than wider. So I thought of running a pipe long the middle with outlets tapped in for each 25l (~5gal) bucket's airline. Something like this between the buckets. Am worried about The tail ends having different flow rate. Also need wider main-line.
BUT: I saw this video on manifold design for large room filled with many fish tanks. This guy says design-wise to have your main lines run a loop around your space, because that makes the out flow more evenly distributed, vs a linear manifold with dead ends like above...
Here's my ring air line manifold design thus came up with:
SO, what do you guys think? Are loops standard or am I missing something. Also should the inlet on the loop be option 1 or option 2? I feel a T make the air flow more even but on the con side means the airpump is in the way of my epicenter and in the garden, so option 1 is better, tho seems uneven flow distribution-wise.
