What do you need help with ?
I was wondering if it was going to be an issue for the (water supply hoses traveling from the control unit to the pots) were elevated about 3 inches from ground level for a distance of about 2 feet compensating for the holes on tent. I tested it and everything flooded and drained perectly..
On another note, maybe you might have tips on draining a 55g reservoir. I will be doing every ten days.
Thanks!

If it's grafting and it definitely is draining propperly then it should be fine, it is draining the full system back into the res isn't it?
Best way to drain a res is gravity (tap in the bottom) or failing that a powerful pump with a hose to the toilet/sink. You can even plumb your res tap to your house waste water pipes, or through the wall into the gutter downpipe and into a watering butt for your lawn

To drain a 55g res your best bet is a sump pump and a garden hose. You can find a cheap one on amazon

You could use a pump and fill 5 gallon buckets and water the lawn or plants with the waste water. Just add a t-shirt splitter and use a valve to open. And close the line used to drain the reservoir.
