Hi, I have grown a bit of microgreen in the past but I stopped as I was too lazy to change the water every morning and night.
Now I would like to buy a filtering pump and do as displayed in the plan attached.
My issue is that I cannot find any tray that would be flat or close enough to having a flat bottom, that fits the dimensions I need and that is Bpa free.
Acrylic sheet could be an option in my mind but I do not know if that can be an issue with plants.
Thank you for your help it is really appreciated!

Hey, I think that either I am unclear or nobody have an idea for this yet sadly
Anyway I looked at my other options, I thought about bamboo poles to replace the plastic tray but it seems pretty expansive and it would reduce too much the cultivation surface.
I might have to use pvc pipes instead..
If you have a better idea let me know, thank you!

I don’t think you actually mentioned the required dimensions of the tray — ?
I’m also not understanding — the water is constantly streaming down this surface like a waterfall? Because wouldn’t the left end need to be deeper than the right end for it to hold water ? (water surface constantly remains level regardless of the slope of the bottom)
