i seen on the first page you said you should have bought a different ballast then the quantum.? i just want to say to that ive used a quantum everyday for 3 years until i moved to the other side of the country and it was awesome i had it beside my nextgen and lumatek and mags and the quantum was my favorite.... also very nice micro set up you have going everything looks nice....
if i were you id ditch the pots and make a custom planter box or a big tote or rez 25-35 gallon and put all the plants in the same bucket. its how i like to do it and i decreases your chance of getting all your plants root bound.... 4-10 gallon
smart pots?
just a thougt
