Sentinel MEF-1 E/F system

Hi there!!

I've been lookin at these Ebb and Flow systems for a while now, I was wondering if anyone know where to get a good deal on one. The controller has lots of features, one of my favorite being the option to airrate the res before filling the sites.

anyways its called the MEF-1 and its from sentinelGPS

this thing is calling me, and Im gonna get it as soon as I see a good deal on one, that will give me a good excuse to test some LED's

Let us know how it works for you. All I've used were a repeat cycle timer for floods and a pump constantly circulating the reservoir.

i pulled the trigger on 1. woop woop
Now I need to find a food grade res, any ideas?
is there anything wrong with using a rubbermaid 55gal BRUTE?

Looks cool, you get the whole system or just the controller? I have their ppm1 but don't use it any more because living co2 tanks is a pain and a bit suspicious to the neighbors if they don't already know (smell issue when i moved in before mini split)

What did ya pay

Be careful using things not intended for water as a res. I have friends who have came home to floods because their improvised res had split under the weight of the water. Make sure u sure a heavy duty one. I can buy used 55 gallon drums from a local organic food packager for cheaper than trash cans.
