Some stuff we forgot to mention in the video:
- We put a piece of wood under one side of the table, as you can see on the start picture. This creates a slope so that the water runs down into the reservoar.
- The way the table is built now, you wont have to worry about there being enough oxygen in the water. The water is very shallow and the roots will only be partially covered with water. Also the water will be oxygenated when it splashes into the reservoar and makes bubbles. Because of this we keep the pump running all the time. We have a similar indoor system and have very good experience doing it this way.
- If you want more water in the channels you can adjust the slope. You can also use 2x5 mm tubes for each channel (drill another hole in the end piece), but then you have to use these fittings with more exits:

- If you have more water in the channels you might need to add an air pump with air stone to the reservoar so that the roots gets enough oxygen, or turn the pump off for a while each day. You will then get a hybrid NFT-DWC system.....which will also work :)
