i made some changes from the original "Krypto's Ultimate Controler"

one of my major concerns was waterlogging so i modified the design to drain all the water from the buckets

raise the buckets and add an angle to it

hydroponics is all about oxygen so i added a fountain head that was a venturi effect

finally to help by friendly bacterias and remove the debris before the enter the main reservoir i added a socket filter from an aquarium cleaner and filled with ceramic rings

Wahoo! Look at all that oxygen... sniff sniff, kind of brings a tear to my eye...

Oh and if you want to drain the buckets all the way and don't wish to tilt them, there is another way. Buckets are usually made out of HDPE or High Density Poly Ethylene plastic. When slowly heated, this plastic becomes very pliable. If you heat (with heat gun) the bottom of the buckets and press something hard and cylindrical into it (get your mind out of the gutter Pb), you can form a indentation in the bottom from which to drain from.
