I hear ya. A couple more pumps maybe. Hand water and build each manifold at your leisure until you get ten done, lol. You got a lot of work on your hands. I would go nuts managing that much. Good luck and happy growing...

I can't see any pics either.
But yeah man, you need to get automated.
Sounds like you're breaking your back over there.
Work smart, not hard!

Have you checked out Blumats? I'm on a much smaller scale, but I use blumats with self-topping reservoirs, and the only thing I have to do is make sure that the big reservoir stays full enough. If you use elevated reservoirs feeding the blumats, you can run a relatively small supply line from the main rez and set it up so that the overflow from the elevated rez just drains back to the main rez. This way you don't have to worry about float switches, timing, forgetting you are filling, etc, etc - you just kick the pump on at intervals that will keep the smaller rez's full, and run it long enough to be sure that you have filled them.
Blumats would also vastly simplify your drain issue. Lots of ways to go with that, depending on your ability to tie into the sewer plumbing or simply catch it and fire a warning light when a float switch tells you that it's time to check things out.

Costco has currently got some excellent pricing on the various Blumat kits, but I think that they are only available as an internet order.
