I will start putting that up sometime tomorrow evening most likely, and then get back to plumbing.I've been discussing with [USER=329070]@Dano999[/USER] on his build thread about overcoming the "hump" in the plumbing return line. Or at least mitigating it's height as much as possible. The bottom of the duct port is at the 7" mark. So if the system gets lower than that, watch out for issues. I'm considering building a little riser out of 1x4, and on edge that's a 3.5" height. Add plywood to that, and now we're pushing 4" (assuming 1/2" ply, or just shy with 3/8" or 1/4") which would take out about 5" - 5.5" of that 7" hump after accounting for the height of the pipe in the bucket. If I'm doing that, might as well use 1x6 and just get it over with.I really hate to give up that height though.The buckets are 14.5" so after the lift, that puts them about the 20" mark. Assuming a 6" gap at the top for lights at their highest point, since the fan/filter is moving outside, and now we're looking at being down to 4'9" of height for growth space from the top of the bucket to the light. That might work, but those extra 6" may come in handy with a nice sativa. With a SCRoG at 12" over the bucket (may set it at 8") that's just under 4' of stretch height, effectively. I think that should be OK for the most part.What I'll do is make this so I can change it back if I find the height to be an issue.On the other side of sports, I'm considering putting together a little peg board deal for hanging power strips, etc. May also pick up some wire to extend the dimmer switches to outside the tent, but not sure it's really necessary.I buzzed-ordered some crap off amazon last night that I thought I had to have. Whoops. (I did need it though, but ya know.)- (2) 15' 14AWG extension cords- 3-pack of 6' 14AWG extension cords- 3-pack of 3-outlet adapters rated for 20A (1 plug turns into 3)- 2-pack of  3-port USB adapters- big surge protector power strip- 7gal (round) fabric pots (on sale 6-pack for $10, $5 off)- ratcheting pipe cutter (cuts up to 1 1/2")Went there to get an extension cord and a pair of USB fans. (Still need the fans. <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/laugh2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":laugh2:" title="Laugh2    :laugh2:" data-shortname=":laugh2:" />)I would have ordered the rest of that stuff next week anyway though.</blockquote>
