@subzero - Well I've made my mind up for a carbon filter...I think I'm going to go with this DIY one HERE. You think it will be just as good as any other one? I don't see why not...I think its pure genius...should be fun to build :thumbsup:

I'm it total agreement with you about the water man. I think for now investing in lights is more of a priority than RO water. I need to get the hang of just growing with what I've got first before I get too fancy and RO water is probably a little to rich for my blood right now with my lack of experience.
