I use 1m trays with 3 plants to a slab. I have six slabs under 2x600w. How big is your growspace? 15 trays sounds a hell of a lot for 3x 600w lights to deal with.

its simple mate

get some 13mm tubing, some 4mm tubing, 13mm 't' peices, 4mm nipples & drippers.

Make a ring out of the 13mm, connect both ends to a 13mm 'T' piece.

punch holes all around ring, fit the nipples into holes, then add the 4mm piping to these nipples. Then attach the drippers.

connect another peice of pipe from the 13mm t peice to your pump and bobs your uncle.

heres my old dripper system...





or you can make ring square by using 13mm corner peices ('L' peice)
