Flood and Drain help

I am looking to switch to hydro for my new perpetual op, but I can't bring myself to drop 400 on a premade system so I want to know if any one has a good DIY F&D table. I need to fit 16 plants into it so I'm thinking 7inch square pots in rows of 4 under my 1000w hps.

I don't want to hear if there are threads and I should search I'm sure by now everything been covered on this site at the moment i dont have time to search.

It should be easy to make one. You will need a submersible pump , an air pump , tubbing, a reservoir , a flood tray,a couple of air stones, and two timers.
I would tell you how to put this all together but I don't have time to show you.

Go to the library.

check my sig below

Here is mine to give you an idea.

this is just a temporary one I am using til I move. Working good for me.

I'll be making something like this for my next ebb and flow table.

This sums it up the flood table should be a 4x8 for 16 plants and I would get a light mover if your not going to
Upgrade to another light! 16 will need x2 lights or a mover.

Here is a few I built for my mothers and veg area.

I built mine from...

3/4" plywood cut in half
2 - 2x6's (for sides)
2 - 2x4's ( for table legs)
1 set of drain and fill fittings (hydro store)
35 gallon tote for resv
1-timer
1- pump (250 t0 300 gph will work)
various wood screws and washers to assemble

To water proof my tables I used a liquid rubber called BlueMax. Not cost effective
to do one table (175.00 for 5 gallons) Best bet is use a pond liner.

I really wish I could help but I ran out of time.
