The rise/drop outside of water has no effect.  The pressure difference from water height will be your issue.  I have gate valves on all of my lines 40+ and set each line individually.  I use 3/8 flexible hose to go around the room. 1/4 lines to each sponge.

Pics would help...

The valves are just from Deep Blue, 1/4" screw type gate valves. the manifolds and tubing I got from some hydroponics place all run on an ecoplus piston type pump.
