Just noticed this part...
I would add overflows if I were you. Both the tubing and fittings are cheap. Good insurance if your fill gets clogged or the timer fails and the pump doesn't shut off. Also, I wouldn't use the bathtub as a backup res for multiple reasons. First, it connects to the sewer...yuck. Second, they typically don't hold water for than a day or two as the drain is not water tight.

I used "t" for the drain plugs so the trays fully drain thru the same hose that filled em. My trays hold a full res (12 gallons) and I fill them in pairs, so no overflow is needed. If I should leave for a while I'll fill the bath tub and use that water to refill the res in-between watering. I should be able to go 6-10 days that way.
