Here is a pic of the finished plumbing. 1/2" feed as close to the bottom of the bucket as possible. (2) 1" drains. On the other side of the bucket there is a bulkhead up top with 1/2" pvc that elbows down and feeds the airstone.
The feed line and air lines are on valves to make sure every bucket is even Steven. You can see that the 3/4" main feed line in pvc reduces down to a 1/2" tube on a barb fitting.
Can you please direct me to where I can purchase the bulkhead/rings/pipes etc (or whatever you call that) that you used?
Are you sure those plastic slip collars that hold your stainless support shelves will hold the weight of the water and plants combined? its goin to be a couple hundred pounds per bucket...I would block those bitches so they can't collapse on ya
Cap, major props to you and to your clean work!
as we all know, these mpb systems can be a super pain to put together and (at times) run . . . but for those of us who have a passion for creating super complex cool stuff . . . . this system satisfies like none other!
yep. always modifying it . . . learning more . . . making mistakes . . . making improvements.
you know how it goes.

mpb vs. RDWC
mpb is an RDWC system.
So if an mpb doesn't flood and drain, what's the difference?
Awesome! I have the same question, I see an additional black line next to the drain pipe and am wondering what that was for also.. And, Thank you Papa for the lengthy description!What is the lower 1" black line next to the larger ABS drain pipe? And are both white PVC lines on the same circuit? (top feed and DWC supply line)

Does anyone know where to buy the wastewater aeration disks? Dr. Stupid has one in his tea brewer thread, but he's MIA at the moment and I can't find his source.
