Interesting trickle system, how much flow do you have and I am a double pump fan as well.

For those trickle buckets, the jecod dct 12000. I originally ran it at full speed but it cut right through the floss like water jets lol. Also when the second pump was on, the 4 2inch bulkheads could not keep up with the flow. So both pumps are dialed down to half speed.
 
I had to reply. I just joined the site tonight, but have read the site for 2 yrs and actually followed this post since you started your ....quote unquote "Build" Frank lol. I serious question though. Because I have considered a big plywood build myself in the past, but one especially on wheels/pressure points just seems iffy to me....Since it's been up since June, I just have to ask, no warepage, no cracks, all is good as new??

No warping, nothing from what I can see. Good as new and lets hope it stays that way for a long time! I've done the math and the psi on each layer of wood supports and the two highest were from the pad of the casters against the 6x6's which was calculated to roughly 62 psi. Which the 6x6's seem to be handling no problem. Then theres the wheels to the steel which is under each wheel roughly 1000psi. and the wheels can handle that no problem as well as the 1/4 steel. Thank you

I'm glad it's holding up, when are we going to see some shots of it full of fish?
