yeah thats what i like about these systems is there very low maintance, and the coolcab is a good setup, but the reason i didnt like it is its not much bigger than my speakers and theres no way your going to get close to 14 plants, i would shoot for 6 to 8 maximum, and the good thing about the Reservoir tub is its the same kind you can get at walmart, so i would recommend getting another lid and drilling your own holes so your plants can have more room.
