My DWC plan needs help.

ill be using 4 5-gallong buckets, with a 5-gallon resivour. i will have air stones at the bottom of each one. the water will splash up to the netted pots and keep the roots moist.
i will interconnect all the buckets using 1/2 inch tubing, with a water pump inside the res pumping water into the buckets, and back into its self. there will be no dripper.

if all that sounds right, or if theres a detail i left out, let me know.
i was wondering if the 1/2 tubing should be coming out of the top of the buckets, and if it is, how will i keep the water flowing into the next bucket after the last. if i dont come in from the top, and i come from the side, what will i use to seal it from leaking?

is this a good setup? its dwc style orented. i just cant figure out how im going to connect them all, but i got the airstone thing down.

anybody have some light to shed on my project. im planning on doing this sometime, but not soon. help me figure it out please. help me clarify.
