I like this idea. Save us from paying $8 shipping for a $1 part. I will definitely post a suggestion for items to carry if I think of anything else not already mentioned.

The website looks alright since you really dont have anything on it. Once you start adding more content to it, you would like to make links (categorized) instead having every listing on the main page. I myself hate advertising at the top lol specially that big of a banner. One more thing... I think its a big to dark in color theme.

thanks for the reply. the ad will go bye bye when i get my real domain name. my current host limits me to 5 things in my store so when i get new domain catagories are a good idea! i will work on the color

The basic setup looks good, it's quite classy (I'm not a fan of some of the multicolored, many fonts sites - they're hard to read). The black is a little dark, but it's easy to read what you have written. I like that you have areas for discussion and posting DIY projects. Makes it seem like a friendlier, more helpful place.

I'd appreciate further descriptions when you actually get things in, like how much the measuring chamber for the fert bottle can hold and if there are other amounts indicated on the measuring chamber. The outside diameter and length of the dispensing syringe so I'd be able to tell if it would work with my bottles. The little details that can answer a lot of questions.

I'm someone who likes simplicity. I much prefer "stores" that are plain backgrounds, with easy to read, well illustrated things to buy. I would limit the splashy graphics to other pages, where people like me can avoid them. A well designed logo is also very useful - you can use it as your signature here and at other forums, and people come to recognize and remember you from it.

EDIT: I tried again, and once I could get my eyes unglued from that loud advertising banner I found the way to the "store" - that is good. My comment is still valid, for me, I don't much like home pages like that when I am looking for something I need to buy.

Very nice.
I like the overall layout of the site.

Hoppy,
are there any hard to get parts for your DIY Co2 checker (the one which utilizes a piece of tyvec membrane) which jeremy could buy in bulk and supply to us?

thanks for all the replies!!!

im working on making my site better so when i get my refund it will be all good to go and your suggestions are really helping me alot..


the reason its black is because it makes it much easier for me to see. im partially color blind and tomany colors or colors that are to close are hard to distinguish for me.

i cant wait to get rid of those add banners. i cant see them on my computer but on other computers WOW their really really bad.

I gave up on that type of drop checker. It is too hard to get the 4 dKH water in it, it seems to gradually diffuse that water into the tank, and it isn't enough faster to justify that much effort. The idea could be developed if someone wanted to work at it long enough, but that isn't me.
