I'm looking into an Ebb and flow system and would like any recommendations on what are some good quality brands to look for. I'm probably going to buy a complete system but don't know what's considered higher quality.
Ebb and flow is a stupid simple hydroponic method. I know cuz this stupid simpleton uses it you don't really have to buy a commercial grade table. They are easy to make. I can't imagine how any manufacturer would be bad at this.
the amount of time it takes to flood your table, then drain needs to be considered. The faster you acheive this the better in which will cost more but it depends on the size table & res size you want.
A standard aquarium pump matched according to the size of your table (fill in 5 minutes) will cost you 20 bucks. The most important thing for me in a table is drainage and making sure your plants aren't sitting in water.
