ive decided to go with a dwc unit/ OR BUBBLPONICS I SHOULD SAY. i have some experiments i wana try out but i want 2 make a home made system. the thing is i dont really know any technical things about the dwc system. im going to get a 4ft. by 2ft durable tub and put 18 3" pots into it. i was hopeing to make it a simple veg/flower unit i could just make an aero ponics systtm practically? any advice would be greatfull. i have a 175 watt sunburst
