Dealing with an extremely small reservoir on the IKEA Krydda hydroponic is a challenge, but a simple solution using a 1L juice bottle, made a hole about 3Cm above the top, fill it with nutrients, put it upside down in one of the holes and the water stays at 3cm inside the reservoir all the time.

It is the cheapest and easiest solution, just need to paint it or cover it with aluminum foil to prevent algae growth. But it's not a big deal because this system is with an airpump and it's not Kratky any more.

One bottle per hydroponic unit and I don't need to worry any longer. Just checking out the bottle and make sure to fill it quickly after it's low.

PS. It's really hard to take picture of a hole!
