just purchased this. size will fit nicely on kitchen worktop because it has a top extraction hole. the homebox xs has it in the rear which would mean it would hang off the worktop. they also seem much more reasonably priced. cheapest homebox xs in the uk i could find was £79.99.

i filled mine to the brim after i saw you mention it, in your journal i think, i've already had to refill with 1.5l after 6 days from planting the rootlings.
i'm only a day off a week into veg but i don't think i will be changing the rez water, just keep topping it up with water and nutes like korvette says.
pump is on the tomatoes settings (20/4). the rez is filled to the bottom of the sponges. i had the ag lights above and 2 125w enviro cfls vertically in front but now i've ditched the ag lights for the mo and put my cfls above. the ag lights will probably go back on as side lighting of some...
