Newbie has a water pump question

I know that this may sound stupid, but I need some info. (Not too mechanically inclined here).

I am currently doing a DIY Cloner in a 19 gallon Rubbermaid Tote. I am using 3/4 inch pvc, and 360 Degrees E-Z Cloner Spray Jets. The water pump is a ArgoMax 250 GPH Model.

The questions that I have are as follows; (1) Do I end cap the PVC piece that is off the Tee in the middle and goes to the bottom of the tote? In doing so, I would imagine that I would run tubing from the pump, and into that one particular piece of PVC Pipe ... Correct? I also feel that I should prime with water, all of the PVC Pipes that comprise the outskirt of the cloner itself.

Thanks for the advice as it is always appreciated

I've built so many of these. I have o e built just like yours. I have 9 site buckets that are the best. 2- 12 site cloners and a large 35 site. Add an air stone to yours. Your pump is fine The setup is fine. You don't need to cap it. Make sure to clean all the PVC out they cog the sprayers easy. I've had to use fish tank heaters before on the large one to regulate temp

I've never used glue or primer to messy and leaves a little oil in the water.
