what i have
10 gal fish tank
coral grow light (seems to work but obviously i don't know if it works right)
small fish tank air pump for bubbles
small fan for ventilation (don't know if necessary)
2-15 gal heater

fred not only is all the info here. go to progressivegardens(dot)com. Go to Hygronimics(dot)com. Those site are just hydro not just dealing with what we do here. Progrssive explanes all the types of systems.

Yes the system you gave a link to will work but I would inverst in some hydro nutrients to go with it. This is the big rule. The bigger the light the bigger the buds. However with the big lights you must have control of everything. Heat , cold, nutes, fans, and A/C if needed. You can start with that fishtank light and add more fluro's for veg but you will need more light to bring the buds home.

There is no set price. Light, PH meter a TDS meter help and nutrients are the big cost. Most everything else can be made cheap.

Do yourself a favor and SLOW DOWN!!! Take the advice of these guys and read, read and read somemore before you go hog wild on buying and thinking that your gonna grow something. Alot of peeps (myself included) jumped right into stuff without having a clue and I can say that personally it cost me about $2000 that I didnt need to spend because I jumped right in. Take your time and do it right, you will be much happier in the end with both the outcome of your grow and what is still left in your wallet!! :jointsmile:
