I too have a homemade E&F and there is about a 1/4 in left in the tub after draining. Now i haven't had any problems but i think i have been lucky in the fact that i have not had any root rot. Being that your roots will be underneath something where mine are out in the open might be a factor. My thoughts are go with it but keep a very good eye on them and keep a very good schedule of pathogen control and in my opinion you will be fine.

thanx ...sparkafire...but i think i wanna be safe..so i just drill one more hole...
with no barbs...just goin to drain straight tru hole to reservoir
