[Killietalk] Drip emiters vs. valves

[Pjeversman at aol_com]

I am trying to design a water system for my tank rack which happens to be 6 
ft. high. Since I want to get water to some fry boxes on the top shelf, I will 
have to pump it at least 7 ft. high.  Can I use plastic tubing and drip 
emiters, or will there be too much pressure from the water pump?  If so, I will have 
go to pvc pipe and valves.  If I need pvc, can I use 1/2 in pipe or should I 
go larger to accomodate the valves?  The shelf is only 4 ft long, so once I 
get the water to the top, gravity should do the rest.
