Thanks for the feedback CGI! I am think I am going to try and avoid clogging my lines and pumps by using Smart Pots. I am also planning on putting a little bit of panty hose or a piece of Smart Pot over each line before I insert it into the buckets for an extra filter. I am also gonna use the coco croutons instead of pyth or coir. That way I don't have to worry so much about smaller particles.

I am still open to hearing about others experiences with ebb and grow with coco or experience with the coco croutons.
