I use Fiberglass window screening to put on top of the egg crate. You can buy it by the roll at Lowes or Home Depot for cheap (I think for like $4 or $5). Just cut it so it is 2 or 3 inches bigger on all sides so the substrate sits in it like a bowl and you will be all set.


Did you get a digital Hydrometer? Analog ones are notoriously inaccurate. Heck digital ones are not all that accurate. I ended up buying a couple and running them side by side to see what the variance was so I could guestimate the actual unity.

Tnak is looking good though, keep the updates coming!
Thanks. They are analog ones (I can see where you are coming from with digital though; it's kind of like hydrometers and refractometers with saltwater). Fiberglass window screening would be perfect above the eggcrate! Going to Lowe's tomorrow anyways to look at plants, might as well check out the window screening.

Thanks again, you've been a huge help!
