I used to use these and they work well, except that I used a 1 gal per hr.. I have since gone even simpler. I now just start the babies in a 6 inch net pot with the water level about 1 inch higher than the bottom of the net pot, and drop it as the roots develop, with A daily spritz from a spray bottle until the roots hit the water. The only equipment in the containers is an air stone to put the 02 in the water. The simpler I get, the easier the grow goes. Peace & be kind
