How can I do a recirculating reservoir without having reservoir under flood table

I would like to recirculate my reservoir water because drip to waste is costing way too much money but the problem is my grow tent is not very high so I can only have about a foot and a half of space under my flood table which i dont think is high enough to fit any reservoir. The reservoir that I do have is about 4 feet high and placed outside of tent. I tried flooding the water back into the top of the reservoir via a tube connected to the bottom of the table to te top of reservoir but that didn't work because fucking gravity wouldn't allow the water to reach the top of the reservoir. What can I do to recirculate?

You can fit one under that just fine. How big of one you need? They have "stock tanks" (for watering livestock) that are low and hold a lot. I just looked at a 60 gallon that is only 14 inches high. If you only need about 25 gallons get a "smart bin" from walmart, they're strong enough to hold water fine and only 16 inches high I believe.

OK thanks. Where was the 60 gallon res? And the only problem I might have is my water pump is is about 6 inches high and once the water level reaches about 4 inches high the water pump can't pump anymore. Do you think this will be an issue with the one thats 16 inches high?

The 60 gal I saw online at farm & fleet's website (I've been pricing them out for my tables, but not sure how big of one to get yet). I've read that if you lay the pump on its side it will pump down to a couple inches. and if you've got an inch or 2 to spare you could throw a piece of wood under one side of your res so that it slopes toward your pump side, probably pump out all but a gallon or 2 like that.
