This system is a great choice for the gardener who is space conscious. It's practical size and heavy duty design will last for years. The ebb and flow plastic tray itself is 5mm thick, 2ftx 3ftin size, with a height of 8 inches. I personally designed, constructed and tested this ebb and flow system andis used as a medium for growing herbal medicinal plants. Guaranteed to work with dramatic results. Plants grew about 8 inches in 2 weeks, leaves are greener, healthier and you will have a "sea of green" in less time. Can actually handleminimum of8 plants up to 18 plants in a 5-1/2" square pots. And the kit comes with the following items:

1. 2' x 3' 25 gallons capacity ebb and flow tray

2. 2'x 3' tray stand made of 1-1/4" PVC pipes andwith footings which makes it very sturdy oryou can even put a board on top of the stand. This by itself cost about $60.00 already without tax.

3. A 130 gal/hr submersible pump with just the right amount of water pressureto fill up the tray, with water flow controller on the side

4. Fill-drain and overflow fittings

5. 1/2" size blue hoses

6. 2' x 3' 25 gallons capacity reservoir

The system provides enough space at the bottom for you to decide what kind of reservoir you are going to use. Whether the one that comes with it or if you decided to put 5 gallon black buckets with interconnected hoses or a tall 30 gallon capacity black rectangular container to prevent algaes. Warranties will be2 months on tray and15 days on pump, void if used in other instances than the intended purpose. Better get this one and i know you wont regret it. Sold one set to my friend, he is happyand can't wait to start.
