    just built more tables and tested them


    one table isn't draining all the way...maybe 1/4" of water at best.


    I need these up tonight.


    Is this going to hurt anything?


    Can I just throw hydroton in the bottom to give less room for actual liquid


    Worried this will lead to root rot

    fuck if I know? Guess the plastic is slightly warped where the drain is....just a tad higher, I was hoping it wouldn't hurt, WTF do I do? I have to move forward tonight with this....you think it would hurt anything for a day or two?

    Thinking of trying to use a heat gun a little bit and warming it up and pushing on it

    ez cowboy....don't heat anything up id say


    holding water in the entire tray? like 1/4 inch from front(where drains are) all the way to the back?


    personally, id just put something thin under the back corners to lift them up a lil bit


    I dunno, tape together 2 pieces of cardboard and put em under the back corners to help it flow more


    but if its at the drain section only (front holes) then id say who cares....nothings perfect.....I mean, hempys sit in water as a rule and what happenes to them????

    Are your bulheads in the center? If the tray and stand are level it should drain. Hydroton will just float away when it floods. I'd shim up the low part till it drains its best. A little fluid left over wont be too big a problem.

    If the level in your res is too high it won't drain all the way.
