but you know them blue baby pools from wally world.... thats what i use i bought 2 of for $23. i took 1 and made a rez out of it with plywood to cover the top but 1st i glue pond liner on both sides. used a hole saw to cut a hole threw it then patched the hole to cover up the wood that was exposed, but so the hole was still there. damn wish i had a camera. for the top pool i stole a bunch of milk crates cut the tops off at a 1 in. level then cleaned them well with food grade peroxide 35%. placed them in the pool placed the plants in and works like magic...... all yeah and dont for get to hook up the ebb & flood kit............
or you could got with bucket system. or top feed up to you.

Look u can make a tray out of just about anything. Kitty litter boxes work good. I use a 3x3 table from Gen. Hydro. I would get actual ebb and flow fittings to minimize leeking. You also can get those from GH for cheap in my opinion. Then u go to any store that would have some tubing and if u want take ur fitting to get a good match. Use 1 rubber made storage container to water hydroponics. Ummm. pumps, airstones can be picked up at any pet shop, wally world,etc. lights..............well thats another story

I built my first flood n drain out of sterilite 'christmas tree storage' bins from walmart and a pond pump that i got on clearance there for $8. The res was just a 5 gallon pail- shoudl have been bigger- but rubbermaid totes work fine.
I'm doing a beginner hydro setup thread in 'grow logs' if you feel like taking a gander.
