Well im only on my second cream of the crop,and just from a few pieces of bits here and there,iv made a fully working ebb n floud system.
So all you need is 5by5ft pice of wood ,an about 1inch thick. Then for the sides you need 4piceses of wood the same length but the hight is optional,i had it at 1 an half foot high.
So then you screw the sides on to make the first part of your ebb en floud. Then you need your leggs to support your table. I used 4 peices of wood at 3ft long at 1inch by 1 inch thick.Then once you have screwed your leggs on through the bottom of your table you then add extra support by adding 3extra lengths of wood to your leggs. now you can add pollythene ,i.i plastic sheeting to the top of your table ,mesuring up so it covers and drapes over the sides of your table ,then double it up ,i.e for extra strength.
Now remoove your pollythine to drill the main hole for your table to do its work.
all you need to drill is one 12an a half mm at one end of the table ,centre 4inchs out from the edge for your 12an a half mm pipe to let your water drain from your table.
Now you can add the pollythine and secure it down with silcone.Now push a pice of 12an a half mm of plastic tube through the plastic and through the hole level with the top of the hole, have the tube at 2 ft long hanging out the bottom of your table into a dustbin cut in half. Now fill the table with cly pebbles ,and add a pump to your res .i.e your bin , then fix the out going water pipe to the top of your table to let your water fill your table ,but rember to only have the pump on for a few minets or your table will over flow wink.gif
