Has anybody ever used the Ebb/flow system from American Hydroponics the Big Foot or the 1 tray system from Sunstream? Are they worth spendin the bucks or would it be easier to make my own? Pics??

It's like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper to build your own. Plus you can customize it to your space.

No it isn't way cheaper to build your own, by the time you get the pump, res and stand it will run around $200.00, I just built a stand for a 2' by4' tray and one for a 3' by3' tray. I can't see any reason the 2' by4' system would be priced $100.00 higher, its smaller than the less expensive one. VV

I have 8X4 and I built it for $125. Far cry from $399.99 plus S+H.
