don't bother with the lit aqamedic reactor.save yourself $100 and use a cheap 2' t5,i myself use leds to light my reactor.it also depends on what phyto you are growing.red and white for nanochloropus and dunellia,red for tetraselmius and blue for isocrysis

a good pump with the capability to have multiple outlets can cost around $200,but if your only growing the one, a cheap pump that can aerate is good enough.an aquamedic reactor is between $110-$120 without the light.a 62 oz jar can be free from a friendly restaurant,but make sure it's glass.a water jug is about a $10 deposit,but you would need multiple lights because of the depth.get the plankton culture manual before you start.info is king
