Great pictures man, there really helping me out trying to round up all the supplies. I've been looking to build a system for awhile, just never had the space but now I do. If I got any more question I'm sure you'll hear from me, and I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

Anyways thanks again Hatch, you're an asset to this forum and community. K++

I just kinda came up with this off the top of me head, but I think it will work.

I do the same type of mister setup, but instead of having the water leaving and re-entering. I make it so the water never leaves the pod, by having a submersible pump connected to the pipe inlet at the bottom of the pod. That way the only thing I have to do is plug in the pump.

The only problem I can think of is if the 14 gal container won't hold the amount of water that I need, and have enough room for the misters to spray.

Lemme know what you think.

If You are going to have just 1-Pod??? You could get a 10gal & a 14gal. have Your water & all in the bottom, Have a drain in the top Pod, Also running Your Hose to the Mister's from the Pump running in the same hole. That way it would be easier to change the water. Maybe so Maybe No???

Ya I like that. I think that will prob work the best. I like that stacked idea because it will be higher off the ground also.

Is that just a regular tub/shower drain?

Thanks hatch, you always got the good ideas.

Good, I didn't know if height would be a factor!!!! Ya, Hope that will be easy, & fast to get-together.

I think they are for sink's??? I wouldn't get those, they are high!!! I think they have plastic one that aren't that bad. But You might just need to make the hole for the drain in the bottom of the Pod like 1 1/2", & maybe the one in the lid of the res. like 3"??? No need in wasting $$$ when You don't have to, EH!!!:thumbsup:

Well good dill, Now get to work!!!!!!:stoned::stoned:

Okay I went out and bought all my stuff today, and it only cost me $45 bucks (cheaper than what I thought).

I was looking at pumps and I think I found one that will work. I don't understand though the difference between and in-line and submersible? Are they the same thing? Anyways am I right to think a pump with a higher GPH rate will be less noisy than a lower GPH pump?

Thanks ya'll...

Ya, That Pump will work. But only for 7-mister's.

The pump you are looking at can do both, in-line, or submerge. OK a in-line-pump, You plumb it in to the side of Your Res. & A Submersible-pump, goes it-to Your Res. I would advise you to just submerge the pump, easier, & You don't have to worry about drilling a hole in the side of Your Res., & get it silled back up.

Glad it was Cheaper than You Planed, That's alway's a Good Thing:thumbsup:

Alright 24 hrs later, alot of pvc cutting, and dremel-ing I think I have built a pretty good setup (with alot of excellent advice from hatch). I found that the 10 gal is too small with the risers so I'm thinking of using that for my reservoir. But will it be too small???

The only thing I need now is the nutes, pump, and sink drain.
What ya'll think???
