What type of system are you trying to make? Im confused causehave items for different types of systems. If yor tryig DWC(bubbleponics) all you'll need is the rubbermaid container, an air pump(not water), baskets,airstones, and thats about it not counting lights, nutes and medium. If your gowing for aeroponics you will need a good timer for yopu mister cause you will be misting every other minute or so.
