For the first comment on his apparently awesome bubbler... I didn't paint mine, it was easier to just cut the airtube into 2 4foot sections and connect each one to its own airstone, that way it would be evenly distributed, even with low water levels. Oh, and I didn't say anything about a heater, ALTHOUGH this used to be (and still can be) a shroom incubator, there are two containers stacked inside one another, the bottom one has a few inches of water and an aquarium heater... that isn't even plugged in. I suggest you read the whole post before accusing me of having a bad design. So, in that spirit, I'll call you a fascist/communist pig (your choice) because I know nothing about you!

To the second about transplanting... I'm just going to cut them out... it's styrofoam, not steel, it's pretty easy to do. I worked at a nursery and I can guarantee you that about 90% of all nursery plants come bare root, employees pot them on site, and that's what I'm planning on doing. (oh and I use Fox Farm's Ocean Forest, might be twice as expensive but it's well worth it)

Klondike bar-2 things, love the avatar and you're exactly right about the styrofoam, the roots will not grow in it and I'll just cut them out.
