Hi Dave, no, I decided against costco, it was something someone said on the board about warrantees, monitoring the filters and so on. Frankly, although I really like setting things up like aquariums and terriums (kind of arty!). The technical side of orchid growing like fiddling with lights & watering isn't my idea of a good time (at least right now). I am more "into" the actual plants. (aren't we all, i mean really!). I think I am put off by the lights for example because there is so much info, its hard to filter through it for the best results so in this case, I just threw money at it. I decided to rent a unit because they do all the work. I had to agree to rent it for 2 years, after which I can either buy a new unit, keep things the way they are or give it back. It was a little pricey for my liking. But Culligan has a good product line. (sorry for the long answer to a simple question.)
