Hi Daniel I found your website and e-book an informative and interesting read. I must admit some of the ingredients listed in the xls would be hard for me to source though. I think it may be quite useful to be able to alter values for the individual components as the percentages may vary between similar products and also from country to country. An option to add something new to the database may be handy too. Looking at various formulation software there are a few features for the average hobby grower but not too many. These may serve as a source of inspiration for further ideas. http://www.suntec.co.nz/nutron.htm http://www.smart-fertilizer.com/

You're thinking NFT. People do it in 4" PVC. I like 6" green sewer pipe better. Square fence post rails also work very well. They sell net pots in many sizes, 3.5" is good for peppers. You will want a smaller pump, probably a mag drive; the sump pump you have will make the reservoir too hot when run constantly. Pump the water into a spray line with holes every few inches. I like 1/2" CPVC for the spray line and hole made from a 1/8th" drill bit. The water will enter the line and pee down every 6-8" or so, ideally between each plant site. Then it flows down the pipe and returns to the reservoir. You can make a drain pipe that lets you adjust the water level within each pipe.
