Hydroponic trough status
after running for a week remove it so I could set some foundation cement tiles and footings.
And got it back into place
Been running it for a week or more to get the flow mechanics down.

And I think I did. It starts right in the AM. And it drains correctly when the pumps shut off at night. It doesn’t overflow.

Next is the bamboo pipe/cover for the outlet.
Then the bamboo cover and support brace for the inlet spout.
And one more slat across the front of the raised bed to 1/3 shield the trough.

Then we’re ready for rocks and plants. The first hydro batch will likely be basil

Is the trough level or do you have say, a 1/4” per 12” slope to facilitate draining?
