update: i'll never again use gravel this small; the roots have still not emerged from the sides of the net pots... and one clone is not growing. still green, still perky, but not doing anything. it doesn't help that my res is cold either, i'm going to set the bucket on a peice of board insulation today. that should help the res stay at room temp; the concrete is keeping it on the cold side.

also, i need to get some black rocks for the top of the net pots, to block light out. the slips are still too small for collars.

ok, i'm done rambling now, carry on.

Hello KP
Here's one place you can order from online.Http://www.sourcersearch.com.When the page comes up enter this part # r04-11a30-120 and you will see all there is about the relay and the cost.The guy that posted the flip flop is fliping 8 lights with the four relays he shows in the flip flop box.{almost sounds like a song,flip flop box}.The first post the guy build his ballest in the flip flop box and flips 8 lights.The second post is what you want to do.I think you only need one relay.Cause he also is flipping 8 light too.Well if I can be of any more help pm me anytime KP.
Peace ps if there's a electrical suppy house near they would have it too.

Hey kp. a soulution to your cold res. Get a fish tank heater rated for the amout of water you have in your res. They are dirt cheap and will solve all your cold probs. Got one in my 20 gal fish tank keeps the water at about 80f. hope this is a help good luck on your relay's sounds like your getting closer.

thanx toke, i'll look into it.

matt, i'd thought about that; the prob is, my temps are probably around 57, so i'd only want to up it a little. no more than 68. 80 is quite high... i'd be worried about algea and root rot... but then again, i'm not an official water farmer yet, lol... i still love my dirt.

good lawd
never seen anyone use driveway gravel.
I suppose it would work.
I can imagine any rocks would work/ minus ones with moss..
I was wondering about marbles myself..

'course it works ;) river rock is better, but i didn't have any river rock... so...

oh, and btw... there is an upside of using gravel; it deposits trace amounts of granite dust in the water. granite dust is a natural organic source of potassium.

Kp you can set the fish tank heater at any temp you want just use a little thermometer in ther res and adjust till you get the right temp takes about 1h to get it perfect then no more adjusting. this would work, trust me some fish like it cool others like it ver warm mine are in between.

any fish store. Aquarium heater and depending on the size of your res I would pay no more than 20 bucks you can most likley find one for around 10. It migh need a little "Mciver" work to get it were you want but I know your resorseful KP
