NEW HYDRO TABLE: WHAT GPH PUMP DO I USE?

[FRANKENBLUNT420]

ITS A 4'X4'X10" table and will hold:
-16 x 2gl buckets filled with hydroton, raised off of the bottom of the table about 3"-4" since each bucket will be sitting on its own pegs attached to their bottoms
-sprayers: 1/4" hydro tubing with holes punched to water
- basic setup: one line coming from the res (will more than likely be sitting outside of cab) up through the table, then leading off into to two main tubes which will lead to the 1/4" feeder lines to the pots/buckets
***the cab itself will be about 6-1/2' so i may have room to build the table and have it stand a good height to fit the res under it

Q: right now i have some pond pumps rated at 195gph, pump at a height of 59" and wanted to know will this be enough to pump water (say about 6' total) up to the feeder lines to feed all those buckets? if i need a stronger pump what gph should i be lookin for.

since its s concept i will try to draw a mock up in mspaint and post it along with this later on. but you get teh basic concept so what do you think

I use a similiar pump for a 4x4 table but its ebb and flo. So I think you will need a bigger pump for all the lines

dont worry its the same guy!!!

dont worry its the same guy!!!

ok here is the mock up i was talkin about earlier. the red dots are where i would poke sizeable holes in order to get a good flooding of the hydroton going. green lines are the 1/4" lines. of course all the joints will have the proper connecting T's and Elbows'.

remember that these are 2gl buckets. i figure i would go 5gl but that would be another time once i get my feet wet with the supplies i have.

yamaha_1fan: thanks for stopin by bruh, but i still need to know what size pump? would a 200+gph be still not enough? would a 500+gph be too much and blow the connectors off? woulda 300+gph be just right?

i was just thinking would it make any sort of a difference (in regards to need of pressure) if i were to not run the two 1/2" mainlines but two 1/4" lines (would be coming from the one main 1/2" line) and use more T's and an elbow on either end?
