What about a smaller container? I don't know about the angle opened ones, but I have seen 1 and 5 gallons containers for 12 and 20 bucks respectively...
I think what appeals to me about the angled screwable lids is that they are stackable. My 2 gallon black buckets were 3 bucks a piece. But need to be built into a rack to get the angle, and then had to plumb a raingutter drain system..
What i envision with these is the simplicity of stacking them without the need for building a cumbersome rack. And each container can drain into the one below with either a through the bottom drain pipe that plugs into the one below or just a bunch of holes drilled that drain into the container below. These are made with a lip and a deeper impression on the top so they will sit perfectly. You could also angle the corners anyway you want. The bottom row all the way around can be setup as an undercurrent system, constantly circulating around the circle, and will act as part of the reservoir itself. The upper rows will be aeroponic that is supplied and pumped from the undercurrent system on that bottom row. Each container will have a sprayer just like in my current system.
My wife thinks im crazy as i stayed awake tossing and turning all night blueprinting in my head.
