It’s simple. Just run a separate container of same size for a reservoir and pump to a manifold going to each container to waterfall in water. Run lines from the bottom of each container using at LEAST 1” hose back to the res. They can connect. I.e. 8 containers, 2 lines back to the res, 4 on each.

which part of that is the gravity fed part?

all he needs is 4 float valves connected to a res higher than the buckets.

where does the DWC come in? It's a simple F & D

I thought he meant a RDWC that was gravity fed back to the res.
