Awesome... Yeah I could put a pump in the drip tray but it does have raised ridges to allow for runoff.I followed cemchris' advice and couldnt be happier with it.
1/2" line from the pump, siphon break over the res. Then used rainbird 6 port manifolds in the room and ran naked ended 1/4" feed tubes to each pot. A ball valve on the feed side is used for controlling flowrate.
Super simple setup and has worked flawlessly.
The other thing I'd do is drain the table uf you can, you dont really want the coco pots sitting in runoff if you can avoid it, but I realize height is an issue for you.
Would a very shallow drain pan work? Could put an AC condensate pump in there to automatically pump out the runoff for you so you arent a slave to it. Just a thought.
Thank you sir you just made this very easy for me and I appreciate the time and advice.lol get ready for the piles

I will say depending on nute choice I have never had a clog in a line. 1 line a plant for 1 gals. More of a concern if recircing or using organic stuff.
Full loop or U shaped PVC?This is accurate for the parts list for the inlet to the loop. I like it this way better.

Oops it's in the other pic... Full loop got it
Yup why I asked. Awesome bro I appreciate itYou got it. Without going full loop you might get a pressure differential or air pockets the will mess with the flow sometimes unless you are running big money pumps with variable pressure or insane head pressure. Other reason I like bigger pumps behind it to push the even flow across all of them and then use time to adjust.
Can us newbies get some pics of the build when you decide to pull the trigger on the auto feed? Would be much appreciated.Yup why I asked. Awesome bro I appreciate it
Absolutely.Can us newbies get some pics of the build when you decide to pull the trigger on the auto feed? Would be much appreciated.
