Hi guys I'm in the market for a 4x6 flood and drain (ebb&flow) system, I'm after one where the flood tray sits ontop of the reservoir rather than on a actuall frame as these seem to be cheaper in other sizes. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any that were reasonably cheap as all the ones I've seen have a frame supporting the tray and the res slides right underneath and these are generally in the 1000$ range which is quite expensive to me especially seeing as I need 3. Any sujjestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch dudes!

Make it yourself. The tray is only 120 dollars or so, use rubbermaid type containers for your rez. Make a table out of 2 x 4s.

I use a 45 gallon rubbermaid storage container and lid I purchased from Target as my res. (45 gallons is appx. 170l I think)
That's good yeah was gna go with a 150 for each 4x6 table to try n manage ph drifts as I use rockwoo. I geuss I want something quite short if I can find it cos ceilings are only 8 ft. I was thinking about one of those kids sand pits, I made a pond for frogs and shit out of one when I was little and it lasted fuckin years out in the garden. l need four full flood and drain systems to accomodate 10 mothers, 100 in veg, and 100 in each flowering tray. Not to mention a 100 site cloner but I think I'm just gonna buy that to save on the labour time.
