 Top feed drip system tek question

I have been searching various forums for teks on drip system set ups. Does anyone know where I could find a selection of good teks? I am interested in reading about personal experiences. I haven't found any on here and ICmag is f'n huge and my searches there haven't been fruitful.

Thanks Captain! Pico doesn't fuck around. I assume this is the one you meant.

its super easy to do up.
Id go with 1gal per hour nozzles so u can put ur pumps on for 15mins and u know u fed 1L to your plants.
less for smaller plants. one litre imo would suffice for a plant that was vegged 3-5 weeks in a 2gal pot.
uPVC or PVC is a waste too I use this like black tubing that costs 17cents a foot
basically the drip irrigation part of the table (no table, res, pump, or particle filter) will cost 20-30$ per table. as low as 10$ if u dont use nozzles but u wont have even feeding.

Interesting info. I actually have a 264 gph pump in a 37 gal rez. i haven't started running yet as the plants are barely even seedlings. I am wondering if this pump is way too much. I will be watering 6 plants and haven't decided to do a drip system or run it constantly. More specifically I was wondering if i could do a drip system with this pump since it seems so powerful. Do you think that restricting the flow of water to a drip will adversely effect the pump unit itself?

well you can have a 8000gph pump and it will just get pumped back into the res and the 1L will only come out the 1gph drip nozzles in 15minutes...
