Well Bro.... Let`s just think about this ok.....I`m tryin ta get you to visualize the obstacles to get past once the shelves are setup and you`ve got gutters constructed some kinda way behind each shelf top to bottom on all 4 sides of your quad...Not sure how or why this shit`s typin out in italics , but anyways.....back to building a manifold to go all the way around 4 sides as well as X amount of levels ALL tied together , with the feedtubes holding the individual feedlines sitting at least over the tops of the gutter setups so as to prevent/catch any potential leakage when said manifold is pressurized the first time... ok now.....
The only way I`ve come up with is to build the outside frames outta pvc using 4 way furniture fittings as the corners on each and every level at gutter height , and then use adapter fittings to connect pvc to flextube for the pieces that go across the tops of each gutter that you punch holes in and attach feedlines to....I tried and tried to build it on paper with flextubing and without 4 way corners it`s difficult....doable....but difficult.....that said.....PVC furniture fittings aint cheap and ball valves aint either , so budget beware.....
If you connect gutters all the way around the quad , we`ll haveta adapt and build to accommodate that , so see Bro.....without knowin what`s gonna be where , we just need to move forward and get there....and lastly this day.....comin outta that DAMN rez…..lol.....No bulkhead at the bottom.....You HAVE TO come straight above the pump "inside the rez" ABOVE solution level BUT still "inside the rez" and install the Tee with a short straight pc and an elbow hooked to that pointed straight back down at the solution ……then...…
Run a straight pc out of the rez and put an elbow on it ….. Put a 1' pc with a "ball valve" in the middle of that 1' , and another elbow pointed down on the end of that 1' piece.....now however long a straight pc you need to get to the floor and put an elbow on it , do that.....and then....Hook it to the bottom of your free standing manifold with whatever length needed to get to manifold and connect with a tee and you`re connected up , down , and all around...all that's left is to install ball valves underneath each level and turn on the pump to see how powerful it is so as to choke down flow with the main ball valve comin outta rez , then tweak each level accordingly…..aight....
Think about shit …..make decisions.....move forward....holler with your thoughts.....
Peace.....DHF..... …...
