Yes I filled it almost full with water, ran the pump close to the high setting and a good amount goes by the check valve out the top, but not very much pressure. I still have yet to connect the full ring of plumbing and hook up my nutrient lines, so i'm not sure yet on the pressure coming out of the mister heads.

No, the grow buckets are pretty much the same level as the resevoir. That's what makes it tricky. I could make stands, but then I would have to encoperate another semi-holding res. to then pump THAT back into the main res. but I don't have enough floorspace to do so.
