Can't we all just get along? (sniff)

I am building my second real set-up which consists of about 18 sq. ft. I have been reading a lot about how to grow well, and the key is oxygen to the roots (assuming you have all the basics correct). It doesn't matter what method you use. Many methods produce similar results if you do things...
