Well here are some pictures of the setup completely finished.

Its impossible to see the drain line in the photo, but I have a 1" PVC that runs along the floor and back into the reservoir.

I thought I has a photo of the NFT channels with their lids, but apparently I was wrong.

Over the last week, I have answered a few of my questions just by "trying it". The lettuce and spinach roots came through the bottom of the rockwool within a couple of days of germination and I plan to get them in the channels in the next day or two.

I am now a lot less concerned about the flow rate. After reading a few more sites, I see people running anywhere from 0.2L/m to 1L /m per channel, so I think I am going to be fine.

I had a look at some Oasis cubes that I found locally, they just seemed rather "crumbly" and I was thinking they would make a huge mess when trying to shove them into the round holes in my channel lids. I was afraid that they would clog up my drains, pumps, or feed lines.
