i`m sorry to hear about you and the ole lady.
glad to hear you are bouncing back.
i would love to see the pics of your nft system.
i have one suggestion for it, the root mass of the plants may cause it to clog at the drain so i would suggest oversized drainage hole.the system i built was 6 inch pvc by 5 feet long and the roots went from one end to the drain hole. it never clogged as i made the hole 2inches in diameter, the roots protruded down into the res. but didnt clog the drain.
thank you for the props and i wish you well in this nft endevour.
if ya got any questions i`ll be more than happy to try and answer them.
peace
and
grass
