LGHT said:Yeah I was considering an Ebb & flow 4 plant system. I read it is a lot of initial setup, but a lot less maintenance and clogging issues to worry about. I found a place that sells all the electronic relays etc for $80.00 Only thing you provide is pots, media, and pumps you would like to use. Here are the instructions. Let me know what you think about the setup. I may just go for it and get on of those setup.

WOW, that is the most confusing and strange system I have seen.!!
EBB&FLOW is probably the system with the lest amount of moving parts ( a pump ) that shows 2 pumps, float valves, etc.
IMO Its as simple as
a table... (from hydro shop , they come in ALL sizes)
A reservoir : Mine are 80 LTR bins. (underneath)
1 pump and 1 air stone per res - Dont know why they use two ?
and enough tube to connect the pump to the table (2ft)
And your overflow pipe ( 1 FT )
That diagram just complicates the hell out such a simple system.
Float valves ?? The simplest is to have your table over your reservoir and use gravity ??
I have seen alot of different setups and chose to go with a EBB & FLOW for its simplicity..Thats not a simple version ! LOL
