Go on piratebay and search for hydroponic. Theres a few ebooks on there. If you dont know what piratebay is or how to use torrents, then you can learn that through google alot faster than everything you need to know about hydro.

Air pumps come in all sizes, depends on how much you want to spend and how long you think you can depend on it. General Hydroponics makes a pump that they advertise as being the first and only pump designed for Hydro. If I remember correctly it has 4 outleats which you can also "T" off of if need be. Then you have the type of pump mentioned here that is used for aquarium purposes, which can also work fine I am using 4 of the fish type atm until I can afford a larger pump. Keep in mind that the more O2 you can pump into the water the happier your DWC plant will be. I'm also checking into Nebulizer pumps as I have seen numerous children need these when they are really young but as they get older they kinda grow out of whatever was causing the need for the Neb. Craig's list here I come and I bet you could find one for about $15 which is just about the same price as the fish air pump.

TDS=Total Disolved Solids, PPM and EC are all pretty much about the same thing just depending on where you are is which one is used more. Just like some peeps have a Roof over their heads while others have a Ruff overhead. Tomatoe and Tomata, Soda and Pop and for the Mass peeps car and caaaaar. Hopefully you will understand why I spelled things the way I did :thumbsup:

Best thing to do is ask question and a whole lot of reading. All the advise I've seen giving to you is right on especialy tiny toon. I am a newbe and did a lot of studing about what the plants need to grow to their potenial. I am a carpenter so building something for the plants to grow was my least worries. For learning about the plant frist made it easy to build, must say this website makes me even patt myself on the back. I am going crazy to fix my computor so I can download my pictures, but in third week of flower and plants are about three inches from light and this site has help by advising me what to do. So alot of studing and asking questions will really help you. Good luck.:stoned:
