Ebb and flow

My semi-most recent project is an ebb and flow system. The problems so far is an unstable pump, a problematic bell siphon and the use of non-food grade plastics (I didn't think of it ehwn I built the thing). Some pictures follow...

A pumpkin plant. This one grew despite the system being turned off during a vacation. The vacation was the same week as the system was started so I brought all seeds. The ones I brought dissappeared (all but one), and this plant survived in the box since I forgot the seed for it.





The siphon consists of an old vitamin jar.

Under the medium box, above the water tank.

Bubbles in the tank. The white is the water pump.
