I planned on the bucket in a bucket system to begin with. The 5 gallon gropros fit perfect inside a regular bucket. I seen them square farmers though and thought they looked cool. I have another room due for completion in about 5 weeks. I’m not looking to haul all that lumber around again lol. Bucket in a bucket it is.i used blocks and 1x8 trays with feed and drain to each tray. i know you got heith challenges to over come. should have asked i could have shown you the bucket in a bucket drain system, its comes in just a lil cheaper than what you did
