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...
