hydro nft, low vertical clearance.

Hey there icmag. Got a nft system going into a low vertical shed. 7ft peak and 80inches at 2 sides. Previously in this structure I had 8 rows of 8ftx1ftx8inch boxes setup like high school football stadium bleachers with 2 bulbs vertically suspended down the middle. Had some really good stuff come out of there.

Now I got this nft system I was going to setup similarly. The tubes are 6 inch square tubes 6 feet long. Probably just run 1 vertically on a light rail. Have 2 reservoir, 1 for each side and a pump for each tube or 1 pump for each side?
I have no hydro experience so its all new to me.

The other idea is to use 1 gavita on a rail and the nft tubes on a table right above the reservoir I can use. That would put the top of the nft at 2 ft. The light rail and gavita take up 2ft vertical space which will leave me with 3 ft for plants. Dont think that will be enough room. :shucks:

The space is 7.5ftx10

Any suggestions?
Also how much water reservoir will I need for this nftssystem? 10 tubes 6 inch square 6ft long. 9 available spots per tube.

Got a prototype build going on. Still a bit confused on how the system all works. Is it ebb and flow or water just continues to flow through?
