"This was great info. I was just going to say go big and put a valve on the end to regulate flow and remember to add an aerator it will help divert some of the pump power and oxygenate the water."
"It worked It worked. I can't believe it. I though for sure they would fall throw. Thanks so much. This is lettuce and a tomato just poked its head out today also."
"OK, I'll give it a try. Just drop some seeds in and let them go. I am using to different mediums now. I have pea gravel in one container and hydroton in the other. I'll give it a ripe thanks for the advice."

Hey Chad!
How goes it? I got to see Sheri's system last weekend, wow! She has a whole cycle, from breeding stock in an aquarium to grow out tanks, 2 IBCs, 200g and 300g, all in a climate controlled greenhouse. Very impressive! Let me know when you want to come 'fishing'!
