keeping pots out of their run-off water

Im planning a larger grow with some 5 Gal fabric pots. I won't be able to lift the plants to relocate them for feeding so I need a stationary solution, preferably one that allows me to extract the drainage but keep the plant where it is.

What do you use to raise your pots out of their run-off trays? I'm not even sure what I should be searching online.
 
I put mine on plant risers they have 4 plastic feet and come in different diameters like 8" & 16". They stand about 3" from floor. Now to drain the basin underneath I use a bulb suction was a turkey baster but now it's what my hubby used to drain oil from his boat engines. I don't really flood the pots anymore just till I get runoff FYI
 
I use Sterlite totes with pots sitting on shelf racks and vacuum out debris and excess moisture, but I don't water to runoff.

I wish I had a size room like that. Looks like a great set up. Perfect for keeping out of the runoff the setup you got.
 
What ever you get set up with..I've used Bricks and old oven racks to keep them raised up. And an old vacuum from online for 20 bucks. Wet dry vac. Gets er done quick. They have a vaccum top that clicks onto any 5 gallon bucket for making a cheap vacuum. Home Depot or most big garden supply stores have em.
