I use a ebb and flow set up it is two pcs. 10 pots on top they are 10"x10" they fit in tray bottom of table holds about 8 gal of water, water is pumped up to top tray for a period of time it has a overflow drain and the same drain emptys into bottom resevoir, add hydrton and nutes you are in bussiness, set up you would do better with is dwc with the five gal buckets also you will need about 600watt hps. for best results, there are alot of diy dwc set ups try looking into hygronomics.com they have a easy to build dwc. just my two cents.
