Active Aqua 2.0 High Rise Tray, White, 4'x4' (ID)

Deep-Wall Tray for Bigger Pots and Heavier Crops, 4'x4' (ID)

A shallow tray holds back growers who've moved up to bigger containers — runoff and root crowns have nowhere to go once a pot outgrows the sidewall depth in front of it.

The Active Aqua 2.0 High Rise ID Tray pairs 7.5in sidewalls with a 48" x 48" inner footprint on this 4'x4' size, giving larger root masses and taller pots the depth and room they need. Outer dimensions of 54" x 54" x 7.5" keep it sized for standard bench layouts.

Key Features & Benefits

• 7.5in deep sidewalls — contain runoff and give larger root masses and taller pots the depth they need.
• Reinforced corners and thicker walls — add rigidity for repeated heavy-duty use season after season.
• Drainage channels — move excess water off the tray surface for faster, easier cleaning.
• Food-safe white polystyrene — resists staining, low heat, and chemical exposure over years of use.
• UV- and chemical-resistant build — holds its shape and finish under grow-room lighting and cleaning agents.
• Made in North America — backs the build with regional manufacturing and consistent sizing across the line.

Who Should Use This High Rise Tray

Growers running larger containers, deep substrate, or heavy crops who've outgrown standard-depth trays are the fit for this 4'x4' High Rise ID Tray.

About Active Aqua

The High Rise ID Tray sits in the Active Aqua 2.0 tray lineup that Hydrofarm distributes alongside the brand's reservoirs and submersible pumps, sized so the pieces work together across one grow room build-out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the ID and OD measurements?

ID (inner dimension) is the usable footprint inside the tray, which measures 48" x 48" on this 4'x4' tray. OD (outer dimension) is measured at the outside lip, at 54" x 54" x 7.5", which is the figure to check against your bench layout.

How deep are the sidewalls?

They run 7.5in deep, built to contain runoff and give larger root masses, taller pots, and heavier crops the room they need without spilling over the edge. That extra depth is what separates this line from a standard-depth tray in the first place.

What is the tray made of?

It's molded from food-safe, UV-, heat-, stain-, and chemical-resistant white polystyrene with reinforced corners and thicker walls. It's made in North America, which keeps sizing and build quality consistent across the whole line.

What other High Rise ID Tray sizes are available?

The line also runs 2'x4', 4'x4', and 4'x8', all sharing the same 7.5in sidewall depth and food-safe white polystyrene build. Only the inner and outer footprint changes from size to size.

How do the drainage channels help with cleanup?

They route excess water off the tray surface, which speeds up drying and makes it faster to rinse and reset the tray between grow cycles. That matters most in rooms running back-to-back grow cycles with little turnaround time.
