Hi rollitup members!!!
I have a 40 gallon tote build that I customed.

Parts list
6. 1/2"x24" pvc was used to build one 40 gallon tote. 7. 90° Elbow 18.360 misters 1. Elbow tee 8. Tee. 1. 1/2"x1/2" male adapter or coupler

The break down
I used a pvc cutter
2. 9" 4. 8 1/2" 2. 7 1/2" 4. 6 1/4" 8. 2 1/2"
There should be over a foot of pvc left over to connect to the elbow tee and then to your 1/2" male adapter connected to submersible pump.

Pretty cool!

I'd be a little worried about the water warming up, with the pumps sitting in the water. I think if I were to build something like this, I'd run the pumps externally. It'd just take a couple bulkheads per tote. Having the pumps external allows you to cool the pumps with small PC fans, which will really help keep the pumps cool, which will help keep the water cool.

Just my thoughts

thanks its a 40 gallon tote will be using 240 gph submersible water pump!!!! Why complicate things more?? I'm currently running 450 gph in a 25 gallon rdwc setup and have no problems with water temp !!!!

Where are your water temps usually at? Just curious. Maybe it's not as important to keep temps as cool with sprayers, compared to dwc.
