Drain Tray Ideas

[MHHSP]

Would like some ideas for drain trays. Most hydro trays are to large for my set up. Need something to catch the water besides a few towels.

Any ideas? I was thinking about shallow Tupperware containers with bulkhead fittings in the bottoms. Maybe a pump to suck the water out the bottom and drain to waste.

My area is about 3x3 with 4 rows of 5 plants in 1 gallon bags.
Soiless mix, not recirculated hydro or anything like that.

I have the same problem, weird shape space and cant find anything to fit without spending a fortune on a hydro tray.

I ended up just covering my floor of my closet panda plastic. I cut it a little bit larger than the floor in my close and stapled it to the walls. It;s not the most ideal solution, I'd like to see a few other options.

Scroll down to the 35-5/8" x 18-1/4".

Two of those would cover your 3' x 3'.

rubbermaid container bottoms. Cut the base to whatever height you want your new 'flood table' to be. If your gonna DTW, like you said, you should just pump it outta there, or add a hole, and a flood and drain fitting.

Fuck drain to waste, if you recirculate your small flood table, you'll know everything on the table is the same pH, ec. Just my opinion. Fuck waste.

Or you could try a bunch of oil pans.

I'm using a couple MacCourt 36" x 24-1/2" High Density Polyethylene Large Black Mixing Tubs from HD or Lowes at $12.00 a piece. They have a smaller size too. Good luck.http://www.lowes.com/pd_19252-1569-ST3608_4294857647+4294867384_40?returnToShoppingURL=CategoryDisplay%3Fidentifier%3DMacCourt%26N%3D4294857647%2B4294867384%26Ne%3D40%26langId%3D-1%26catalogId%3D10051%26storeId%3D10151&catalogId=10051&productId=1226689&Ne=40&currentURL=%2Fpl_MacCourt_4294857647+4294867384_40_&N=4294857647+4294867384&identifier=MacCourt&langId=-1&storeId=10151&ddkey=http:CategoryDisplay

I'm going with "under the bed containers" with DIY fittings using electric conduit adapters and o rings. Found one at walmart : ( that was 34"X17" like 9 bucks. 2 per garden.
Thanks guys!
