Aqaponics setup complete

A submerged pump (from $10 aquarium filter) pumps water from aquarium to hefty platic container/tank on top. This tank is syphoned to a cleaned danon yogurt container,  danon mug has a hole in center and drain pipe through the hole would drain water back to aquarium. As water enters tank it would syphon water to danon mug to level water in both containers. The drain set at a level would make sure the water level would not exceed the set limit, draing excess water back to aquarium.
Pending tasks: Fill substrate in the tank and cover tank. Make suitable holes on the cover and plant.
