Next, your going to need a few supplies. I am using the serilite brand from walmart for my res and trays. The trays are the clear 39l serilite. Ebb and flow fttings or some pvc fittings from the hardware store. The air stones and air pump are optional. The 400 gph pump is not.
First thing you want to do is to build a stand for your trays. They should be about 1/2 inch difference in height sloping towards the res. The shortest side should be the same height as the res. Because there are many ways to construct your stand, ill skip to the next step.
If your using air stones glue them into the res now leaving space for you pump to fin in. Set your trays on the stand and let them hang off the short end about 6 inches. Move you res into position and mark on the lid where your fill and drain holes are going to be. Drill holes in your lid giving yourself about and inch all around. I use a 2 inch hole saw for this.
2 39l serilite under bed bins
1 132l 35 gal tub with lid
ebb and flow fittings ( or make your own, see later)
2 air stones
1 dual air pump
1 400 gph pump
1 t fitting
tubing air and water line
