Show me your NFT systems.....please!

I'm trying to design and build a continuous feed system out of PVC. I plan on running 6-inch pvc with 2" holes on top. I plan on about 2 plants per suare foot. That's all I've come up with....I'd like to see what all of you geniuses have come up with...

Most importantly, I want to know what are the con's of this type of system. I've tried searching this topic, but have had trouble finding something.....I know it's out there....

Your experience is valued.

I used 3/4 hose with feeder lines off of it a 110 liter res. and 2 gallon pots with hydroton in them, I built 2 4x8 tables with a 5 cm incline on it and lined the table with 6 ml plastic
than a drain in the low end back to the res.so far its working great I'll post a picture or 2
I didn't know what this system was called now I know it's called nft.
