Who This Is For
- You are moving to aeroponics because slow growth in traditional media is capping your annual harvest cycles.
- You are automating feeding because manual watering leads to inconsistent nutrient levels across your 18-pot layout.
What We Found
- We noticed the silver lids actually keep the root zone cooler than black ones when the lights are at full power.
- The copper drain covers are helpful because they stop roots from diving into pipes and causing a flood.
- You should plan your floor space for the 70 gallon tank since the pots take up more room than you might expect.
What Users Say
- Growers who switched from soil say they cut their water bill significantly by using the high-efficiency mist.
- Operators who moved to the AERO system report they spend less time on repairs thanks to the no-glue design.
- People running this 18-pot layout say the timer keeps their feeding schedule exact without manual intervention.
Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 18 Pot 3 Row
Tired of slow growth and inefficient watering? The Alien Hydroponics AERO System is engineered for serious cultivators who demand rapid growth, explosive yields, and unparalleled resource efficiency. This professional-grade 18-pot aeroponic kit transforms your cultivation process by delivering a fine, oxygen-rich mist of nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting faster absorption and more vigorous plant development.
This innovative design uses up to 95% less water than traditional soil methods and eliminates common issues like oxygen deficiency that can hinder growth. Built for flexibility, the AERO System is easy to assemble with a no-glue, tool-free design, making it accessible for both seasoned growers and those new to aeroponics. For those interested in other hydroponic methods, the Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 12 Pot 3 Row offers a robust deep water culture alternative.
Please note: This AERO system requires a nutrient reservoir to operate. A tank is not included with the kit. We highly recommend the compatible Alien GardenTank 70 Gallon reservoir to complete your setup.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of an aeroponic system?
Aeroponics delivers an oxygen-rich nutrient mist directly to the plant's roots. This leads to faster nutrient absorption, more rapid growth, and significantly higher yields compared to soil or even other hydroponic methods. It also uses up to 95% less water.
Is this system difficult to set up?
No, the Alien AERO System is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. It uses threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, so no glue is required. This makes setup, cleaning, and reconfiguration straightforward for any grower.
What size reservoir tank do I need?
For the 18-pot system, a minimum reservoir capacity of 70 gallons (280 liters) is recommended to ensure a stable nutrient supply. A reservoir is not included with the kit, but you can use any suitable tank that meets these requirements.
How often should the misting cycle run?
Alien Hydroponics recommends a starting frequency of one minute of misting every hour. However, this can be adjusted based on your plant's specific needs, growth stage, and environment. The included cycle timer makes it easy to customize your schedule.
Can this system be expanded later?
Yes, the AERO system is fully modular and designed to be scalable. You can easily add more pots or reconfigure the layout to fit a larger space, with options available up to the Alien Hydroponics AERO System - 16 Pot 4 Row and beyond.
What makes the Alien Hydroponics AERO system a professional choice?
The system incorporates professional-grade features like patent-pending Dual-Flow™ fittings to prevent clogs, heat-reflective piping to maintain optimal temperatures, and copper drain covers for root protection.
