i would agree....if it was anything but this system. honestly i built 3 ebb and flow tables 3 or 4 recirculating drip systems and a couple nft systems before i ever grew a damn thing.and you know what one of these systems was the first thing i purchased about 3 or 4 years ago before these kids ever found a name for them selves off of ebay. do you know how stupid i felt whenmy $89 package showed up???? pissed. would you pay twice as much in gas just because??? if i told you i could sell you a car that only needed a battery for $150 bones but if u wanted i could replace the baattery for you for but its going to cost $1,150 what would you do?
