Thank you SS,
I honestly am a bit embarrassed to put you through the trouble.
I can only find 3/8 stainless pipe.. It would be a challenge to coil them myself... BUT I can pull it off if there is no other way..

something like this will work just fine.
here's the link on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Super-Efficient-25-Stainless-Steel-Wort-Chiller-/300358101173?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45eebce8b5). i've seen them for cheaper around but i din't feel like looking. that's around what i paid for mine anyway. you can usually get them in 3/8" 1/2" and 3/4".

here is the 50gal, 3 rail, 12 site system. i have 3 of these and harvest 1 every 3 weeks. when completely assembled the manifold is secured and leak proof, just so no one points that out. this system has had 11-12 harvests and never replaced a part or had a leak. i just noticed in the pics the center rail and the rail on the right should be switched and the stagger pattern is more identifiable.

Do you still go by the 3 week clone,veg,flower or do you do them a little longer ?

so what if I wrapped the wort chillers with clear adhesive wrap? would it solve the leaching issue?

SS, I don't see a drainage setup for your 3 rail. Did you just find no use for it?

I see the sprayer pvc has a Z towards the exit? WHy did you do that, and did you just use elbows?
Why did you put the wort chiller in the middle? do the extension get in the way of the plants?
Do you use 2" inch PVC for the return line, and a 2" Tee?
Whats the space between each rail?
Whats the space between each site, is it 12" or 15"?
Are the PVC posts, the original length, ( 56" I think)?
How much clearance did you give the frame above the container? Is it actually touching it?
This is actually a pretty good design.....its strong for the purpose..

rails come 96", i cut to 46"
frame sits about 1/4" above res.
