Can anyone recommend a good aeroponics setup? or guide to build one? this will be my first venture out of soil...and money is not too much of an object...I just want something that works well. Im sick of buying the goddamn garden centers out of soil! lol thanks in advance for all of your help.

Naw man, chillin the reservoir is easy...all you gotta do is cut a hole(s) somewhere in your res that will allow for decent air flow, and then just set up a fan to blow air either into or through your res. Mine is just a 5" hole in the top lid. I use a 1000 GPH pump in a 15 gallon res for 15 on/15 off and my temps stay under 70, with an ambient air temp of around 75.

I don't have an aeroflow system, I just built my own from two rubbermaid boxes, but it's the same principle...the reason the res temps build up is because your pump generates heat and that heat has no where to go since your nute res is pretty much sealed. If you have the ambient air flowing into your res, the heat doesn't have a chance to build up nearly as much...i'm not sure how much lower your temps will get for your particular set up, but i just know for my personal set up it works great, and I assume it would work for you as well.
