Frequently Asked Questions
What are Multi Duct tray stands for?
They support the large NFT top trays in a Multi Duct system. They hold each tray at the right slope and keep it stable under a full load, so the nutrient film flows evenly along the whole length of the tray.
What is the difference between the Small and Large stand?
The Small stand is 28cm high. The Large stand is 31cm high and has a 2 prong design. Pick the one that suits the way you are setting up your Multi Duct trays and tanks.
Will these fit 6ft and 8ft Multi Duct trays?
Yes. The stands are compatible with all 6ft and 8ft Multi Duct NFT trays, whether you are replacing existing supports or building a custom system from scratch.
Can I build my own NFT system with separate trays, tanks and stands?
Yes. The Multi Duct range is modular, so you can combine top trays, tanks and stands to expand, adapt or maintain your system. If you would rather buy it in one go, the Gro-Tank Multi Duct NFT Complete Kit comes in 6ft and 8ft layouts.
Do the stands work with the GT range of Gro-Tank NFT kits?
These stands are made for Multi Duct trays. The GT205, GT424, GT604, GT901, GT090 and GT100 kits are a separate Gro-Tank range with their own trays and tanks, so check before mixing parts between the two.
What is Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)?
NFT is a hydroponic method where a shallow stream of nutrient solution flows continuously along a sloped tray past the roots. The roots take up water and nutrients from the film while the upper roots stay exposed to air for oxygen.
Description
NFT Multi Duct Tray Stands are purpose-built to support the large NFT top trays used in Multi Duct hydroponic systems. They hold each tray at the correct slope, keep it stable under a full load, and help the nutrient film flow evenly along the whole channel. Available in Small (H 28cm) and Large (H 31cm, 2 prong).
Support and stability for large NFT systems
Multi Duct was originally developed by Nutriculture for commercial-scale growers. The trays are long, typically 6ft or 8ft, so they need solid support to keep nutrient distribution even and the film flow consistent. The stands work alongside the Multi Duct water tank to create the right angle for the nutrient solution to run gently over the roots and return to the reservoir below.
| Stand | Height | Design |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 28cm | Multi Duct tray stand |
| Large | 31cm | 2 prong |
Key features
- Essential tray support: sturdy reinforcement for long Multi Duct trays.
- Precision sloping design: holds the correct gradient for smooth nutrient recirculation.
- Durable construction: built to handle the weight of fully loaded trays without flexing or warping.
- Optimised flow: consistent nutrient delivery across the full tray length.
- Easy setup: works together with Multi Duct tanks and trays, and is quick to assemble and reposition.
Perfect for custom systems
Whether you are replacing existing supports or building a custom NFT system from scratch, these stands are compatible with all 6ft and 8ft Multi Duct NFT trays and work with the matching Multi Duct tanks. If you are designing your own system from top trays, tanks and stands, the modular design makes it simple to expand, adapt or maintain over time.
Who is this for?
Growers who need to replace or add stands on an existing Multi Duct system, and anyone building a custom NFT setup from separate trays and tanks. If you want everything in one box, the Gro-Tank Multi Duct NFT Complete Kit comes in 6ft and 8ft sizes with single, double and quad layouts.
Pair it with
- Newa Maxi (Maxi Jet) Water Pumps to push nutrient solution up to the tray.
- NFT Spreader Matting to spread the film across the tray surface.
