There was plenty of skill setting that up.

I did the 2x2 tent, also.
I reused my old buckets from the DWC days. Everything I build I try to make the whole thing without going to the store, or ordering stuff. These buckets are the bottoms of the ones I still had that I cut the tops off of for another build.
This drain and fill is temporary until I get it plumbed up to the drain and its own water tub. I'm basically going to do the same thing to my two 2x4's.
This tent is 2x2x4.
I had a lot of height to work with above the tent, so this table has been floating around my house for years. It is 20"x20". I put a 2x2 piece of plywood on top of it with brad nails and glue so that the tent would sit on top evenly.
Left over bottom part of the old buckets.
I used my calipers to scribe a line to cut. I want to save the middle parts, and not ruin them in case I want to use them later. Who knows.

My floor has a slope in it to the floor drain, I try to use it to my advantage when I can. I put in some water to see where the low side is, and put the drain there. The hole on the front right I had to offset because of the table leg.
I also put holes all about the drain tray to be able to attach bungies later for training.
A 1/2" UniSeal uses a 1 1/4" hole saw.
Since the UniSeal sticks out the bottom, I had to cut a relief in the table.

A 1 3/4" Hole saw will work.
Yes, I cut holes in the bottom of my tent. That's what this thing is for later, right?
Wow, all these years this was a cardboard table. I'm glad I used the plywood now.
Here is the hole I chose to offset for the leg.
Drain hardware laid out.

All primed and glued up.
So the way this is set up now is partially temporary. To the right are my two 2x4's. I am basically doing the same thing with them next, but not using buckets. Under those two tents are going to be the tubs for them and the tub for this tent.
I ran the plumbing with a valve so that after it is all hooked up to the drain I can still dump into a bucket to check ph/ppm or something if I want.
Remember that 600psi 1/2" PVC is a press fit on a 3/8 hose barb.
Soon I will have the other two tents done and the buckets on the floor will go away.
