you need 5 gallon buckets or 8-10 gallon tubs...4-8 bucks

a dual airpump from wally's for each bucket (don't try and spread you airpumps thin...the more bubbles the better)...8 bucks
black 1/4 airline available most garden stores...even though most garden stores don't carryn hydro supplies, they do carry drippers assemblies...for 8 bucks @ Wally's you can get a 4 plant drip manifold and 25 feet of black airline

.88 airstones or 5" airstones...in the tubs I use the 12" from Wally's 3.88 ea.

3.75"-5" netpots...bghydro...gchydro...4hydroponics...sunse t hydro...all good co's who can supply you with what you need (just be discreet, they do not want to know what you are growing)...35-65 cents ea.

10lb hydroton pebbles (expanded clay, can be re-used with proper cleaning)..
.10 bucks

hope this helps, let me know if I can help you out anymore...

get 6 " net pots ..dont waste money on a reg. for your drip either..DIY..if you go cheap then your gonna get cheap

For your next round put the feed line on the bottom of the lid out of the light and only have small holes for the drip feed lines to poke through. That will keep alga from growing inside the feed hose and clogging things up as well as removing oxygen from the water. fyi
