A pump and timer will flood the table? Use rockwool cubes or 4"-6" baskets of hydroton.
If you want to use coco in pots on the table you could use a dip/top feed system and let it drain the run off out of the table. This is a pre built set up.https://shop.hydrolocksystems.com/products/12-plant-kit-all-in-one-hydrolock-indoor-irrigation-system

I recirculate with coco but I wouldn't recommend it to others. I know the risks though.
But yeah you probably should run drain to waste .
Either way a delivery system like manifold with pump and timer .
If you go dtw then use the underneath res for run off and have a separate res next to it for feeding.
With flood and drain you need buckets that fill and as they drain the water acts as a huge oxygen pump and clay pebbles are best but you need to feed like 6 times lights on and twice lights off to avoid the roots drying out.

Why not Coco? Sound interesting I never has tried that Rockwool Cubes. I need to find a driller system first
Pepples are best? I have a lot in my room outside
never use them straight only for drainage. But you right with auto watering it's all possible to mix Coco with Pepples ore peoples alone wow... That's straight Hydro with good Harvest and Quality right? I will try mixture of Pepples and Coco first that's sounds interesting what?

I'd go for the one for 24 plants. Multiple lines per plant.What you think?

Only concern would be the lines are very thin and might be prone to blockage.
I'd probably look on ebay for manifold and then piece together the parts, probably cheaper.

Clay Pebbles are best for a pure flood and drain in my opinion because they drain quick but allow a film of nutrient and lots of o2.Pepples are best? I have a lot in my room outside
However you do need the right system including buckets that don't drain as fast as they fill.
I had to build my own long ago and it was a great system but noisy for my house. Pump vibration woke me up.

This is what I based my system on.
It wasn't cheap

The problem with coco and recirculating systems is coco is high in K and it breaks down and your nutrient profile changes as it gets recirculated, this also changes ph and EC.
That can be worked around by fully emptying the res once a week.

Shit is there no way out to that noisily think? I don't want laud thinks so but I here from someone it is not laud hm?

Thank it was loud for me because the buckets filled from the bottom and put a lot of strain on the pumps as they filled, or just shit pumps.
What I have now isn't loud, but that's top fed

I tried it and it worked so stuck with it.
Basically the same as a wilma system .
But wilma is too small of a res .
So went with Large res with small amount of run off that goes back in the res. It's not constantly recirculating.
As long as pots aren't drying out I don't get an issue.
Looks great but to expensive for me
