Hey Joel,

For $35, it looks super good. I was going to tell you to build it your self, but honestly, I think that it's a good deal for $35. Just be carefull you don't get screwed on the S&H.

Remember that to do hydro correctly, you should take into account that you need to buy:

TDS/ppm/EC/pH/temp meters

The 5 gallon rez might work... but, I think that you should run it as it is, and if need be, then you intall the 5 gallon bucket.

Good to see you're starting!!!
