auto feed question

[fly poster]

So, I have set up an auto feed on a budget because I need to go away for 3 - 4 days. My problem is, is that I have makeshift trays the pots sit in, that fill up quite quickly from the run off (2-3 days), as I am in full-size pots now. I can't find a pump anywhere that I can run tubes off of to to auto empty the four trays into a large bucket - a pump that operates in the reverse if you get my drift?

Any suggestions, or am I going to need to fork out for decent trays (dunno if I can afford it)?

Cheers folks.

if trays are too much cash right now, how about just buying some bulkhead fittings and using the trays you already have.

it's the green thing in that picture. you drill and half inch hole then stick that in it. run some plastic tubing to your bucket let gravity do the work

here's a link to buy it, I didn't shop around for you I am sure you can find them cheaper
