Check out my thread. I rebuilt the UC design and thew out the air pump, stones and lines, replacing them with a simple water manifold to deliver a waterfall to each tubsite.

The 'epicenter' goes away, replaced by a control bucket where the pump and water cooling coil reside. Cooling your RDWC water to below 66f is critical to the success of the approach, IME.

Instead of merely pumping water to another bucket- where UC don't want you to put plants?!- it feeds a manifold which delivers RDWC water to half inch elbow fittings in the lids of every tubsite. For my manifold I went to home depot and bought 1" irrigation fittings called funnypipe tees.

Where is this thread on your rebuild, be interested in looking at it.

Looks good techno,
Think about this for future runs,

With another bucket with big holes in bottom (i went bigger holes than in my pic) inserted into those buckets will let you get about 4 gallons total water and air stones fit in bottom bucket so tubing and stones won't rip roots during clean outs,
black airstone tubing will be beneficial as well, my clear ones always got gross in the bucket, blacks stay super clean
