Lower the growbeds instead, having 3 ton of water up on blocks is a bit harder.

Plastic "pallets" , sure look strong enough for sitting a tank on ,, not sure of sizing for your tanks.

I believe the 2000L tanks sit below the level of the stands (yep, stands are 750mm, tank is 630mm) , so you can quite easily have the tank being a 2000L tank and just pump up and drain back. Two 2000L tanks, each pumping up to 2 growbeds which drain back directly. Nice and simple.

Nope, flood and drain with standpipes can be used too.

I totally want to avoid lifting and digging in etc etc... I think doing the extra pump is the way to go.


:D

Your going the right way about it. Chift Pist is a lot more reliable.

Than pumping up and draining straight back into the FT? Pump up and drain straight back is the simplest possible way to do it... 'course it doesn't have the "constant height" thing going for it.... OH wait. I see, you're saying CHIFT PIST is a lot more reliable than two pumps. Right, I'm with it now.
