Finally, a fantastic video. . . for it was very useful
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen in this system sistema.este work for the cultivation of cannabis? I reckon so ^ ^
@ TheLiquidSword Comments Exceptional! Yes, the solution to drain once the pump shuts off. The last I drilled four 1 / 4 “holes, one in each corner. It takes to fill a small longer on the table of flooding, but it’s worth it for the complete drainage. You should not a problem unless you are not many or large holes to fill nearer than the pump drains. holes drilled in a simplified way, I read a link of other excellent thoughts here in the comments.
If you do not drill holes in the bottom of the table of flooding as the water flow again into the tank? I reckon that only withdraw as far as the overflow pipe, and that’s it. Is it flows back through the pump? Also, if you are holes in the bottom of the table of flooding, how many will be talking to you? Obviously, too many to prevent an adequate flow of the table. Thank you!
Awesome! This is a very technologically advanced tutorial!

@ FenderGibsonWashburn perhaps, if right siphon aquarium glass, otherwise the quality of life of these guys would be pretty poor. . . The nitrogen will be covered, you must provide some additional fluid enough nutrients for plants.

@ Yes Trojanshawaii Tomato plants like flooding and drainage. One possibility would be to place a tomato plant in a basket full of HYDROTON ponds and in the flood table. The number of plants is restricted only by the space for the plants is de rigueur.
ok thanks
@ S9srider Nope. The hydroponic solution in the container more than 15 minutes each 3-4 hours. The remaining time will be kept in reserve until the next cycle.
Blisters should not be in the top container?
u can use this setup for tomatoes?
@ FFarmerCharlie right that we know very small about aquaponics but in view of the fact that I try to prevent the tank dark, in order, algae I can not imagine, goldfish would be very pleased to know here. I can experience the day. Thanks for the thought.
placed in the aquarium background colors and get free fertilizer.
@ Hoffanater all can use fertilizer for use in a hydroponic system. Yes, you can set alight it. Your welcome:)

@ FenderGibsonWashburn Thanks for the demo small system, I can do that, I really do not be with you. I will do something huge, which made my day
@ FenderGibsonWashburn through a lot mate
No problem, I’ve never built one, but I was interested, and I saw your video on it, fantastic design. keep up the excellent work.
@ MWCstream exceptional thought. I guess work. Thank you!
Fortunately, you can drill holes in the upper part have leads. instead of trying to drop it. In this way, can subdue get out of the tube.
@ MWCstream You are unquestionably right and therefore it unloads most parte.El problem is that I have, no matter how the inlet hose to flood the table, always on an eighth of an inch or more could produce. Flood table is not completely used. Drill small drainage holes was my solution simple.De Fusion in a slot to fill for the connection seemed too complicated and perilous for this project. Any advice would be appreciated.
You can also use the PvP pipe / hose pump with the top container, the way, when the pump shuts off the water run flush once again the same pipe. then you do not need to drill holes drenaje.nice vid keep up the excellent work.
@ PearBearCam This is exactly why I made this video as an animation. I filmed the construction of the first real system and I was not satisfied with the consequences. That is why we called this version “animated.” Also in this way may show variations and section views I transversal.Sí other people have to say, I sound like John Goodman. I take that as a compliment.
Thanks for the nice comment.
