@Smokexbreak the main manifold of the pump config

half inch tubing is pumped up to that top right corner there and gravity fed into the manifold. The 2" PVC pipe isn't sealed, just pushed firmware together so I can dismantle at anytime.

Okay so what did you use between the pump and the manifold? Rubber tubing or pvc? What size?

i did half inch pvc from the pump up to a point higher than the manifold, and then gravity does the rest. my issue was my reservoir needs to be in a specific corner of the room so I had to build a network of tubes to get her there.

but if you can pump straight up and into the manifold that's the simplest

here's the drip ring's - you just put them where you want and stake 'em down

drilled 1/8th inch holes - 3 on each side if i recall correctly

using this kit for the tubing and such:

but it looks sold out

zip tied down the ends - the knob on the zip tie works well as a point to put the stake just behind

So could I use 1/2” rubber tubing or would I have to go the PVC route?

yeah you just gotta get the water into the manifold

i have a fucking bitch of a time finding the right thread taps though

i bought these nozzles:

^NOTE this may not be cheapest one on ebay - it was the first accurate NPT model

and this is the right thread tap for those, but i couldn't find a handle. I just put it in my socket wrench and tried to be level

What size rubber tubing did you use from the valve to your drip rings? And what’s size tubing for your drip rings?
