Water Hydroponic Paradise

First a little about my growroom. I built the walls and floor with 2x4 (Studs), Particle Board (Floor), and Black Plastic stapled up to create a 6.5x6.5 room with about 7 ft of Height (About 5 feet of growspace, between the lights and pots). A separate 2x6.5 area in the back of the room for all my "Non-grow" equipment (Ballast, Pumps, Wiring, Power Strips, and anything else I might need it for). The whole room was made as lightproof and air proof as possible, duct taped all seams and staples. I painted the inside of the growroom white (Base Coat), and covered the walls and parts of the floor in Mylar Material for optimum light effiency.

-Lighting-

400 Watt Switchable Ballast (MH-Veg, HPS-Flower)
General reflective hood
Heavy Duty (2000 Watt Resistant) Timer. (Overkill I know, but who knows I might upgrade wattage someday)

-System-

3 Gal Buckets (9)
Lids (cut holes to fit my net pots). Outside painted black and top of lid white.
4 Dual Output Air Pumps, 1 Single Output Pump and "stealth" black air tubing. (Each Bucket gets own Air Valve).

-Medium-

4'' Net Pots
Ready-Gro Organic Plugs http://www.hydroponicdirect.com/Orde...=LMI90-IH1.5CS
Lava Rock to Stabalize


-Environment-

Co2 Boost http://www.co2boost.com
2 Circulating Fans
Dehumidifier (Basement gets up to 90% Humidity without it. Got It Down to a consistant 40-45%)

-Nutrients-

Tarantula (Excellent Sh*t, in my opinnion of course)
Pirahanna for root mass
All H2O is Bottled Distilled Water

Well That's my grow room in a nut shell!

Please Give Me Some Feed Back.

-Questions-

Should I invest in a Air Exhaust/Mover? Dayton?
Should I invest in submergable water Pumps to pump solution directly to root zone, along with my current set up?

Happy Hydroponics ALL!!!!
