pump size is determined by the size and distance of tubing. Different sprayers/drip nozzles require different pressures to work properly. I am not sure but Imagine a ~300gph pump would work fine, maybe overkill even. Again I am not sure since I don't use drip system.

I have a eco plus 396 running 8 buckets... I had drip rings but had issues with them..I dont run drippers... I just run the line and stake it next to the plant... I just have enough power to run 8.... It would not be bad having something a little bigger than you want and adjust the pressure with a 4 way manifold that you can buy at home depot or lowes..

IThey make drip line. It is like a mini soaker. Buy some of those 1/4 inch barbed t's take a length of the mini soaker hose wrap. Make a ring around the plant connect the ring together with the barb. Then connect yor.pump that should have a.splitter for the.number of plants you have to the.spike on the.t of your.soqker.hose. Add a timer and done
