Last night I was thinking about the "can we post equipment" thing. I was thinking..cool...someone's gonna show a lumatek or other expensive ballast opened-up revealing the pcb and everything...and then show a cheaper model like Luma opened-up displaying the same name (lumatek or luma) and parts throughout.
The equipment you listed is even better. You may not have posted pics and or specs (well sort of) and the products might not be exactly the same but it's totally in line with the intent of this thread I think (I shouldn't speak for the OP but).
It tells us what product it replaces and...it's gonna save some of us a lot of bucks.
Thank YOU!
This thread is WICKED!!! The only problem is that I'm such a tightass I want to order everything I see here. That might not seem to make sense but...yeah. I LOVE saving money...I don't care HOW much it costs lol.
Check the label of the DIEHARD Starter Mix and compare to:
Advanced Nutrients- "Tarantula", Pirhana, and "Voodoo juice"
"Great White"
Note the AMOUNTS of microbes offered in each product as well the the final cost
you can buy 1 POUND of STARTER MIX for under $30
1 POUND of Great white or AN will cost upwards of $800!!

4% Co-Polymer (Crossed linked acrylamide and potassium acrylate)
first picture below is Tarantula powder
second is Pirahana powder
third is voodoo juice
fourth is great white
The Starter Mix and the BioRush are both similar in texture/color to the powdered Tarantula as the mix/carrier for the microbes is comprised of pulverized humic/glacial rock/etc.
I would think putting it in a sock to mix in the res, shaking it in a gallon jug/let it settle then strain/use, or maybe just adding it to the crown of the plant in UC/DWC would work well. In all honesty I've only used the products as soil applications. (where they are stellar)
Check that home page...they have a lot of products to offer.

Found hereIf someone could put up teh recipe of Cal-Mag, that would rock. I remember it being like 20-25 bucks for nuff to make many gallons. I think its 2 or 3 salts mixed in ratio.. :)
Cal-mag is a cheap concoction of calcium nitrate, magnesium sulfate and chelated iron sold at an exorbitant price, about 18$ per pint, for use in hydroponics.
CalMag is very handy during flowering where plants use a lot of magnesium and increased calcium. I use it during final flush to stave off magnesium deficiencies.
This recipe costs about 1$ per gallon, and the ingredients can be gotten cheaply online
This recipe is from a friend of mine online, 'fatman', who does fertilizer analysis
