Hello everyone, I'm trying to finish a Ebb and Flow setup and need some advice with specific plumbing parts needed.
I (think) have purchased everything needed except the hose fittings to fill the table and the fittings for the overflow/drain.
(have large totes, 1/2 in tubing, 3/4 inch tubing, air pump with air stones, 130gph submersible water pump, netpots, hydroton, drill, hole saw bits, timer)
I spent hours last night watching youtube videos and was reading earlier today more diy setups. The problem is not one guide that saw went into goes into specifics about the fittings that connect the tubing to the flood table. Terms like "buy the botanicare Ebb and Flow kit" or "fittings from your local hardware store" is all I've come across.
I get it, it's not rocket science but I've never worked with any plumbing other than fixing toilets. I'd like to get the fittings at homedepot.
I planned on running a 1/2 inch tube from the water pump to the table and a 3/4 tube to drain it via gravity back to the reservoir.
If someone can help me with specific parts needed I'd be super grateful.
I'm thinking I need these 1/2 and 3/4

but what about the nut or some kind of gromet?
I've been reading about a pipe filter and/or riser...
Also what is a good water proof epoxy/sealant for this?
Thanks in advance
