Way back in the day I made a pretty sophisticated DIY aeroponic garden that was awesome. Then I decided that outdoors was the way to go so I set up a NFT system which I had the smallest possible reservoir everything made out of 4 inch PVC. I used an airtight 5 gallon container with a pipe to keep the reservoir filled to minimum capacity. So there was always nutrient solution and or water that was fresh because it had to always be replenished from the new supply. With that system I had an airlift pump that lifted the highly oxygenated water from the tiny reservoir back into the system nonstop.

=====What are the advantages of hydroponics?=====

There are a few 'advantages' to growing plants via hydroponics. It is mostly just a way to grow plants in a different environment (indoors, or in a non-native environment). Just like growing vegetables in a greenhouse wouldn't per se be 'better' than growing them in a field. There are advantages to both: a greenhouse allows you to grow things that aren't naturally suited to your environment, whereas a field would allow you to a much larger quantity of plants per cost. Hydroponic is just another way to suit a person's tastes/needs in a growing environment.
