Claim 10:
11. A hydroponic grow system comprising:
a plurality of grow containers;
a reservoir comprising:
an inlet that permits fluid to flow into the reservoir, the inlet comprising a first connector;
an outlet that permits fluid to flow out of the reservoir, the outlet comprising a second connector; and
a cylindrical mixing vessel having first injector arranged to generate a vortex, wherein a center axis of the vortex is aligned with a center axis of the cylindrical mixing vessel, wherein the outlet of the reservoir comprises a cylindrical collector having an input and an output of a second injector is aligned with the input of the cylindrical collector such that a stream of fluid flows from the output of the at least one injector to the input of the cylindrical collector, wherein the input of the cylindrical collector is situated above a water surface level of the cylindrical mixing vessel and the output of the at least one injector is situated above the water surface level of the cylindrical mixing vessel,
wherein the outlet of the reservoir comprises a cylindrical collector that is aligned with the center axis of the cylindrical mixing vessel, wherein the cylindrical collector is able to collect overflow from the first injector and the second injector; and

a water pump comprising:
an input that draws fluid into the pump, the input comprising a third connector; and
an output that expels fluid out of the pump, the output comprising a fourth connector,

wherein the output of the water pump is coupled to the inlet of the reservoir via the fourth connector and the first connector, the outlet of the reservoir is coupled to the input of the water pump via the second connector and the third connector, the output of the water pump is coupled to an inlet of at least one grow container from the plurality of grow containers via the fourth connector, and the input of the water pump is coupled to an outlet of at least one grow container from the plurality of grow containers via the third connector,
wherein the water pump, the third connector, the fourth connector, and the plurality of grow containers instantiate a feedback loop that does not include the reservoir.
