BUBBLEPONICS, taking aeroponics to the next level...
Bubbleponics is the art of delivering highly oxygenated nutriently enriched water DIRECTLY to the inner root zone. The days of merely misting the outer roots with nutrient spray are over. Gone too are the days of over/under watering, over/under feeding; the Stealth Hydro Bubbleponic System automatically maintains the ideal oxygen level of the nutrient solution so as to facilitate a healthy thriving root system.
By adding Additional Oxygen, via bubbles, and nutrients to each grow cup, in a slight trickle (not a solid flow) You do not need a timer on the feeding tubes, and the cube or root base will not drown as is possible in a DRIP System.
A DIY Bubbleponics System:
You need an underwater pump, a submersive pump, 150 gph to 250 gph.
Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot have the pumps. It is a small cheap pump like they use on water fountains in the home or yard.
It sits in the bottom of the tank, under water, here are a few examples:
DuraPump Water Pump - 185 gph

You connect that Irrigation hub or Irrigation Manifold to the pump, and run 1/4 plastic tubes from the hub to each grow cup, to look like this:
You can use an 8 gallon tote as seen in above pic, (with 6 gallons of water) or a 5 gallon bucket, with 4 gallons of water.
You need an AIR PUMP:
$12.99 for Dual or two airstones
VERY Quiet, $9.95 to $19.95, depending on size.
Any place that sells Aquariums has them, like PetCo, Pet Smart, Walmart. They will have the airpumps and tubes and airstones.
There are 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch long airstones for aquariums, like this one:
Airstones are $3.99 to $5.99 depending on lenght.
You can also find round ones, and long AIR DIFFUSERS that make large curtains of air bubbles in the tank.
As the water in the tank BUBBLES, that Bubbley water is pumped to each cup, creating the most rapid growth rate a young sprout or clone can experience.
Look at the dates of these pics, at the growth rate. Also notice the small runts started the same day in soil.
