gotta beat them and put them to work
"Bettah get me my Money"

hahaha


um yeah the are also easy to work with

1 hose up to the right hight
a elbo across to each t
then where t'd off ziptie to each end of the trough
pop a little hole

Even better and cheaper! And doable right now!

How can we combine sips and nft and Coco I don't know why my mind likes the idea of recirculating. More than drip to waste. Maybe I'm over thinking this. I'm also getting a little annoyed the coco is falling though the bottom of the air pots. So tomorrow I'm gonna have to repot them with a mesh screen in between the bottom and the coco. Le sigh. Lol.

Ok I think I just need some parts. I was trying to make do with what I had. I seriously was trying to drill into 5/8 inch tubing and then insert the airline tubing into the hole and melt it together to like make my own manifold. I was getting pissed lol.

well if you really wanna do recirc
I can help you build a flood and drain
from what you have but you need a few items

such as a few T fittings and some silicone and a drill with a 1/2" bit if that is the size hose you got

Dude i tried drilling with a drill bit the flimsy soft plastic rubber 1/2" water tubing and then inserting another soft piece of rubber into the hole. The second hole i drilled right through the whole hose lol. I felt like I was trying stick it in without an erection fumbling around getting pissed convinced at some point it's gonna just slip in there magically and everything is going to work. Finally giving up in disgust and shame. It was quite the scene.

Use a serrated steak knife to make the hole. SLOWLY!
Don't cut your dam finger off!
Just turn and drill slowly. ..
