i am thinking about using PVC pipe and putting in 5/16 tube nozzles in it, and pumping the air into that. Should be a cleaner setup.

Where'd you get those containers? They look nice.
Well, I am finally starting my phyto and pod culture. I am starting the phyto culture first with nanno and tetra., then when that is ready, starting the pods.
I have ridgid air tubing on order so that will replace the tubes and 1 way valves you see now. That was just am experiment. The grow light will be a backup. Iwill ahve these sitting on my window sill for natural sunlight.
lets see if I can do this.

Where did you get those containers @BanZI29 ? They look nice. I'm getting ready to start some cultures and I have some containers to start with but if I keep this going I'd really like to find something I can buy several of and have a more uniform appearance like this.
