it is a nice kit, it's supposed to be kept running 24/7 with airpump. only worry would be overheating solution in that little tote. in this case you can turn it off just use the airpump. it's claimed to give few days advance only in early veg stages so you can still run it with airpump alone when needed. i wouldnt get one more timer for this but it' your call
 
so the sub pump can over heat so basicly get another timer and set it off in between let say an 30 min off 30 min on should this doit

Holy Jesus Christ 189$ are you fucking crazy It's a rubbermmaid with a fish airpump in it ....were talking like 40$ range to make

Here the vid of me making mine for a every 2 week system

[youtube]7cHQwywPBDw[/youtube]

Rubbermaid was 5$
AirPuimp And Stone And Hose Was 15$
Net pots cost 25cents each = 1.50$
Hydroton Is like 10$ for all you need in that setup
Rockwool is 6$ For a package of 20 2" Cubes
Making holes is free

Use the other 140$ to get a nice light / timer and real nutrients

its a complete system with lights pumps fittings ferts etc... IMO it's great for a newb, to pay such small premiums for knowhow. ordering all the setup would add up.

When I first Started I built My Own IMO that's the best way to become familiar with one(fittings? what fittings? it's a fish tank air pump and a fountain water pump they connect right up to the hose lolz) ....Their ferts are Garbage And the Light is a cfl you could get nice nutes and a HPS..... for that Price Range u Could do the same product With better accessories for the same price that just seems insanely high

lol not like i ever bought anything like that, i build everything from scratch too, but for a newb it will help him learn if he's willing to pay some $'s for the work lol some people can pay easier than others, it also has a learning CD :D LMAO
