Looking for a flood table

Anybody no where to get a flood table besides a hydro shop? Looking to replace my table and res after having some issues with slime and white flies. I figure instead of bleaching it again, i'll just replace it as it's probably 10 years old. If anybody has a link or a good suggestion let me know.

Thank you

I just took apart my tables, and my entire ebb and grow for a bleaching and new hoses, and bleached and cleaned out pumps. Sure is a bitch. I'll have to watch this to see what tables people are using. I just use mine to experiment on.

Good luck finding something.

I have the same question as well, looking to start my first indoor grow and there isn't a hydro shop in a realistic driving distance from my house. I came across this guy: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202086174/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=mixing tub&storeId=10051
which might work for my smaller space, not sure how big of a table you were looking to get but that guy is 2.04ftx2.96ft and pretty cheap comparatively speaking.
At least 40 gal with 4x4 or 4x8, i currently use 4x4 with 40gal X2, but thinking about going with a 4X8 and if i do that will need a bigger rez

Personally I would just drive to the hydro store, even if it is hours away. Your flood table is an investment you will only make once every few years making the drive worth it. Barring that consider mail order.

I use white American Agrotech / Botanicare tables. 3x3 with a 45 g res.

With a 4x4 or 4x8 size, your better off just getting Hydro tables. Everything else that big like drip trays, or containment trays will cost even more. You can probally find a rubbermaid or something big enough for a res. that are alot cheaper than a Hydro res.
If your handy you can make a tray any size you want with melamine (pvc coated wood) and some silicone sealant.

I have been looking at these tables made for kids to play with water/sand in. They come with a drain built in,I say them in a discount school supply catalog,now I'm just searching for the right size.I dont see any 4x4 but maybe 2-2x4,they already have legs and are built tough enough for kids to play with.The prices range from 70-200 depending on size,its the shipping that kills it,same as hydro tables.I would buy 1 in a minute off the web,but no one ships them,and if they do the shipping is more then the table...lol,good luck,I'm still looking.

I build all my setups from bins purchased at Dummy Depot. My reservoirs are heavy duty 28 gallon storage bins (I can stand on the lids!!) and my flood tables are plastic tool boxes with the lids removed (very heavy duty!!) The flood table sits on the lid of the reservoir; just drill two holes for the fill and drain tubing.
