i've been putting together my setup over a long period and when i built my home made trays i went to the hydro store and bought several pairs of drain and fill bulkheads. i built my trays and many months later, yesterday, i tested my system and my trays overflowed massively. both my fill and drain bulkheads are the same size and i noticed that on the hydro store's web site, their flood/drain sets have one 1/2 and one 3/4 inch bulkhead. So i'm assuming the guy gave me the wrong set up and if i had the 3/4" for a drain, my tray wouldn't overflow. Can anyone tell me if the proper set up is a 1/2 inch fill and a 3/4 inch overflow valve? The other option would be a smaller pump i guess but then i would have to buy 5 new pumps and that would be too expensive right now. let me know if that's the real issue though. thanks.
