Construction of hydroponic setup

This is my third hydroponic setup. The first two were simple ebb/flow versions using siphoning for emptying the growing pot. Anyway, inspired by windowfarms, this time I went for a good looking set up with high WAF.

Pots before and after insertion:




This is the air lifter, which uses air to lift water:
