I posted a picture that had the original drip system. I have changed them all to flood and drain now. Tha t pump only runs for 10 minutes. I had to get a digital timer for it because most of the mechanical ones can't be set for less than 15 minutes. You could build it cheaper by leaving out the casters. The res is about the least expensive for the 40 gallon size, and you don't need all the plumbing fittings I use. VV
I assumed eveyone would understand the mats for the bottom of the table, you know what you do when you assume. You make an (ass) out of (u) and(me) both. Here are pictures of what I use and how. VV
hey mate started building my own flood and drain table used cheap thin wood with like blocks for the corners feels pretty steard tho all thats left to get done is pump and pond lining. is there anything else you have thought of using instead of mats looked on ebay today for mats and it will cost me more for the mats than the whole tabel.
Yep I have. I was at Menards the other day. They carry panel that have drains on the bottom for keeping you out of the water on your basement floor. For folks that don't want to buy the whole panel put together, the have a roll of matting that is like 3' wide and 50' long. If you are making more than I table, it would cost less per table. Or you could buy some 10' lengths of 3/4" pvc pipe. Cut it in lengths to fit and place your pots on top. 10' lenghts are about $1.65 here. VV
