Well I was rearranging and updating my whole system this week and I decided to make an update video since my phone takes good vids :)

I originally had this posted under hydroponic/aeroponic growing but I dont think it really fits in that section anymore

Here's my current set up, with both my "rain forest" and "swamp". Specs are as follows

Rainforest
264 GPH pump - 5 min cycles 5 times daily, 2 hour intervals
4' 4 bulb T5HO - 2x 6500k bulbs, 2x 3000k bulbs -16/8 hour cycle

Bog
132 GPH pump - 5 min cycles 5 times daily, 2 hour intervals
4' 4 bulb T5HO - 2x 6500k bulbs, 2x 2800k bulbs -16/8 hour cycle

Both watering systems are fed from a 27 gallon reservoir with 2 airstones

Credit for the auto watering system can be given to Growinold on terraforums, you can view the post where I got the idea from on the link below

Here's the video of my set up- Enjoy!
