DWC vs EBB & Grow

Which is better? By far, DWC is the cheapest.

If I decide to go DWC, instead of using them plastic tubs as reservoirs. I've been thinking, acrylic aquariums would be better because they do not bend when filled with water vs plastic tubs. i easily can spray paint it black from getting light inside the tank.

Ebb and grow (the bucket system not the ebb and flow) on the other hand, i like it a lot. looks pretty simple. cant decide which system to do for the main for flowering.


Vegetation periods-planning to go with ebb and flow.

I like the Igloo coolers. Maintaining water temps is easier in a 5 day Igloo. I use 1 1/2 or 2 inch styro on top. Taped off so NO LIGHT gets in.

$50 bucks at walmart.
