First try at building a hydrophonics system. Based on a system I saw elsewhere on YT. I’ll end up making some changes to the design I know but it’s an experiment. The water return didn’t work as expected so I’ll have to try a couple things.

I am looking fwd to seeing it operational. You”ll get it.
it looks like you might could just move your barrel to the discharge end of the tubes and let gravity move the water from the tubes to the top of the barrel (might have to adjust tube height a little) then your pump is only pumping the water up the slight incline from the barrel to the top/intake end of the tubes.
I'd imagine it'd help to have all the water level "close" to the same height. Pump would work less fighting against excessive head pressure. Might simply help to move the barrel and add more water.
Good luck. Looking forward to more in this series.
Hope you get it worked out. Interesting project.
It looks like an inspired start. Praying it works well. I like the idea of the return. Anyway to tip the second tube downhill and join them at far end so return is easier? Hoophouse idea a good one too.
Awesome! Can't wait to see how it progresses.
