Want to set up a Drain to waste system but don’t have any idea of how to run the lines or how big of a pump to run don’t wanna explode a bunch of water in there 😅 was gonna buy floraflex bubbler but people turned me away from them told me drippers are the way and seen on the internet that people give second shots i cant even find a timer that does lowwer then one minute
Is there any good place that shows how to do this thanks in advance?

What is the model/make of the flood tables you’re using?
Generally speaking if you add an oversized overflow hole to it alongside your pump-in/drain-out hole you should have no risk of overfilling, so long as the table can drain faster than it fills. You can always get away with using a smaller pump and just running it longer as well.
Drippers to waste? Nothing complicated there, you can get a simple digital timer and cheap pump on Amazon. As far as a manifold, you can do something nicer or simple old school spaghetti with hardware store parts. It all depends on your budget and what you’re looking for. I’m personally a fan of ebb and flow vs. drip and I do recirculate vs waste for most of my personal setups.
Tip – always keep a spare pump since they are cheap.
