Use oversized pipes to reduce the effects of biofouling. Growth of filamentous bacteria
in pipes restricts the flow. Biofouling can even restrict water flow in 4-inch drain
lines from fish tanks, causing water levels to rise.

Spaghetti tubes for water delivery to individual plants will most likely clog.
-
Pipes downstream from solids removal component are less likely to clog.
-
Lower water temperatures reduce biofouling
