I tried setting up a hydroponic system shortly after going to trickle towers. the plants kept dying. turned out after intensive investigation.
I didn't leave them anything to eat with TT water return. too efficient (lol)

One serious thing I need to mention. if I can save anyone some grief
many times these plants harbor disease. i remember a koi club member stopping along the highway in california on his return to washington state
and loading up on a few "free" dozen. Shortly after introduction his koi came down with quite an anchor worm infestation! A good Potasium permanganade bath is in order for safety sake! (FYI)
