What size res. do I need for a 4x4 flood table?

CARLOS BLANCO · Dec 20, 2010

I have 2 4x4 flood tables and two 30gallon res. The guy at the hydro store told me that 30gal. res. was enough to fill the table and when I ran the pump it only filled up to half way up the table and the pump started to run dry. So im guessing I need a bigger res. Also, it takes about 5min to fill up the table half way.. and 10-15min to drain. Is thier timers that turn on for 5min. and off for several hours?? I have a 3on/off timer but It cant be turned on for less than 30min. So what timer should I use?? THanx for reading

One Million Gallons.

Seriously though. Those are very hard questions that could never be answered by using a little mathematics or by searching around on the internet. I can only hope someone will take the time to answer the question properly and explain their reasoning. Perhaps even post some pictures of what their rez set-ups are. Man, that would be soo cool to have a forum where people shared ideas and people learned things from each other.

It will all work because people realize that taking the time to post up the math behind calculating their rez size properly or running downstairs to take fucking pictures and then downloading and posting them to the thread is time well spent to help people. That advice would never just go unread, especially if people knew that thread already existing because they posted in it.

oh, maybe not. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/131682-how-many-gallons-4x4-flood.html

Forgive me for being condescending, I realize that the casual reader wouldn't have known the answer is found in that thread..I mean, it HAS THE SAME FUCKING TITTLE

You will need a 40 gallon reservoir. Here is a link I have so you can figure it out.
Hope this is of some help.
