space ? i have a 2x3x7 on a 25 gal rez with 15 gals in it because 15 gals is the minimum depth that keeps my pump submerged with the tray full

Ill be growing in two 4 foot pvc pipes, with 4 holes in each pipe. haven't started growing yet, trying to get everything figured out before hand. Going to feed a hose at one end and let it drip back in the res on the other end.

well you can never have to big a rez its more a matter of what your system needs to fill or run and not let the pump run dry

As a general rule, I was taught a minimum of 7gal/plant is best. You'll have less ph drift & easier to manage. Much depends on size of pots, but you'll be safe with that #.
