And once you start 1 soil based tank....you will find that you will need more and more tanks for all the plants you grow...lol.....I started with 1 NPT and it grew to 18 in the house in less than a year-this is not counting all the small containers I have planted....lol.....

So true. Had one a few months ago, now I have 7 and two more in the planning stages!

If pain during water changes is causing you issues, look into this thing: http://www.aqueonproducts.com/produc...er-changer.htm

Hooking it up to your sink will let you both vacuum and replace the water with adjustable flow, no more buckets! I just got one myself, I haven't tried it out yet but I'm very excited about it. And so happy that I don't have to climb over my bed with buckets of water anymore Shop around for a good price, you might be able to find it on sale this time of year.
