A question about RDWC.

Hey guys, there's a lot of growers here in the LED section that have used DWC or RDWC. I posted this thread in the Hydro section but that area is almost always dead. Nothing like here. This is a question about water flow and if my buckets will fill linearly. If any of you hAve experience with multiple site RDWC on one reservoir, I'd truly appreciate any feedback, here or on the thread itself. I'll delete this thread from here in a few days before I can't anymore. I just need to build and want some advice first.

Even with LEDs I usually ran into water temp. problems. Either have your res. outside the growroom in a cool area or run a chiller. I gave up after watching some of my best looking runs turn to crap or just die.

That's so not even in the spectrum of what I'm worried about lol. I've got a water chiller so that's not gonna be a problem whatsoever. Water temps are whatever I so choose them to be. 62* right now
I'm just worried about whether there will be any backing up of water on the returns due to the bucket being connected in line. Or 2 rows on tees and elbows and the middle in line. Like I said, I won't have a problem if I tee & elbow all 9 buckets, cause they'll all be the same, but I'm just wondering what if any others habe maybe experienced.
