Is what I'm going to be basing my Idea off of. Please any input at all would be great seeing as I'm not really willing to drop 350 on a mist pump system that I could probably build myself.

I figure I'll need:

One Resevoir to draw nutrient water from.

One Ultrasonic Nebulizer.

One Air Pump.

One Water Pump.

Some container to house all the pumps.


Looking at the diagram (See attatchment) If I have a fairly nice sized rubbermaid tub I'm thinking about using. With one air pump to move the mist and the nebulizer to provide the fog. Mist goes through ducting into plant roots.

Like the Diagram I'd just need to make my own Fog and Flood planter. That's no problem at all, I already have a water pump I figure maybe make it a dual output to get that ebb and flow going.

Can it be Done?!

Here's another pic if it helps clear things up.

I Think I'll just put in an air bubbler in the bottom of the fogger bucket, and it looks like they use a really small fan, If I could find like a plastic computer fan to pump the mist through the vapor tubes that'd be good.
