i really need to interject for you gbo1, although its technical adn a definite DIY'er project, you should look into the EBB AND GROW system.
jsut to prepare you, it is a hydro system based on ebb and flow principles, and is more technical than it is exspensive. its pretty much taking a $2000 system and building it for like $300-400.
it uses the same 2gal buckets you are talking about. "urdedpal" was right as far as using 5gal buckets though, nore matter what with this system you will be using a little more than1 foot of height space.

I built my system, based on principals more than a specific design, but its almost a rip off to buy a prebuilt when the same thing can be had for much cheaper, and you can vary the layout to suit your room better.
If you dont want to use 5 gal, buckets, buy some rubbermaid storage tubs..those work great too..
