Thanks for the comments GpsFrontier

I really like you idea about keeping a monthly cost to produce the fresh food. I was joking with my wife about that the other day. I was saying that until the start up costs get absorbed by the production of food then the first few crops are going to be about $75 for a head of lettuce. But I should break even at some point. My pH stabilizing problem did go away after I ran it through the fish tank filter although I did not make that vary clear on my website. But I will in my next post. I have been looking in to an RO system for a few weeks now and do believe that that would be the best way to go. I am not sure that I have the funds just yet to get a system that would support the whole house. however I was thinking that one that installs under the kitchen sink might do the trick.

once again thanks for your comments. I am new at this and every bit of advice helps
