No aerator.  What would you want to aerate?

In normal hydroponics, you would want to constantly aerate your reservoir to make sure you get O2 to the roots, as well as keep anaerobic pathogens at bay.  In reality, aerating the reservoir only works really well if you keep your reservoir under 65degF since dissolved O2 in temps higher than that is very low.

 

I'm dying to see how the tomato plant does under 13W of LED light...  I have a hard time believing that will be enough to get any decently flavored fruit, unless they're providing some kind of new breed of tomato that loves the shade....
