Why not just put individual trays under each pot? Much cleaner
not quite sure what you mean, as to why im not using trays is i want to fill the room and have not to worry about excess water when i flush etc, i want it all to go down the drain, its just got a bit of a lip at the moment and wont go down

Google ebb and flo fitting and you'll see many, or boat store and get a thru hull fitting.
well this is what im using

but theres a tiny bit of a lip, so its causing the water not to go down it because of the rubber washer.
can somebody please show me an example of what u guys mean?
right now its all slanted towards the drain, just not going down it.

i thin wood undernearth the plastic to guide the water , i like your idea aswell
even with the thrull hull fitting there will be a bit of a gap? they had these at the hydro store aswell but i thought what i bought would be better as it has a sliver drain aswell, but dosnt work i guess idk.. lol, all the water piles up where it should, just doesnt go down....
bleh. im stumped lol

maybe thin piece of cloth that goes from the pond of water to the drain,
like a wick that will drain the water over the lip of bulkhead

ha, thats a neat idea, but id kinda like something to get rid of it faster, there must be a way..
it all slants to the hole with the fitting i have there.. once it puddles up it starts piling up the sides.
there must be somethin i can do to get it outa there lol
