self watering system rev 1 complete

here are the components......admittedly can prob be put together cheaper had i not went to lowes. next time i go back i will get some 90 degree 1/4 in fittings to improve the fit and finish. only additional piece not listed was a 4ft 1/2 inch piece of plastic tubing for like $1.50 or something like that. will add a pic soon.

here is a pic....like i said...still needs a little fit and finish work but overall works very well and can accommodate many more plants when i expand later this year. Cost was about 76.50 plus tax but will probably take it up to 80 when i get a few more fittings. I have a submersible style terrarium so I estimate this can function for about a month on it's own. In case you were wondering the plants on the front row I feel do not require the drip system; they are close enough to the fogger to get their h20.
