NFT Setup

I am ready to setup an NFT system using 4" pvc pipe. My understanding is it should flow about 4 cups a minute. Question: Should the setup be so all of the flowing water is returned to the solution container by having a slight drop in the pipe or should I level the pipe and have 1/4" to 1/2" of water level in the bottom? Comment?

I think a true NFT system has a slight drop in the gutter for the water to make a "film" on the bottom. There technically shouldn't be a build up of any water.
