Great info !! thanks. Voice work would be good. . Unfortunately your voice is very monotonous and it gets very hard to listen to it much after a few minutes if less. If you learn some "coloring " and stop trying to do the radio announcer voice It will benefit your videos greatly !! Also you say wayyy too much and it becomes over whelming. Whats between the words is just as important to how much you want to hear your own voice. just some friendly advice from another perspective.

What is the biofilter you mentioned? I know you said worms and bacteria are in there but what specifically is the medium that allows the worms to survive?

Im really into aquaponics too! if your ever back on Oahu. lmk.

Wonderful system. I' will need the instructional video
-
And like any other videos... Americans do talk so fucking much... skipping most of the time the real subject of the video... To much fucking talking with to much shitty info than real one.. Get straight to the point and low your bla blaa blaa shit.. and that would be a shorter video with much more real info than shitty talk.
-
there is to much side commentary that's irrelevant .... this could have easily been shortened to 20 minutes...

John, What kind of material is loaded under the gravel bed what you called secondary bio filter where i can see some white stuff when you dig out for worms on that 4x4 gravel bed ? Do they also fee some other food to those worms or they simply rely on fish poops.

Hi John ,
I am trying to find information on growing rice in containers/ponds using fish to assist the growth of the rice. The problem I am running into is a lack of information. I live in
Florida and we a climate/wet season that I think would be conductive to growing rice. Have you ever grown rice? Or know anyone who does as an urban gardener? -
the pooh and peee!!

Second video of yours I've tried to watch.... absolutely terrible videos!! You talk way too much about absolutely nothing. There is no need in an hour long video. Wish i could block your channel so i don't have to try to avoid your videos!!!!!!! I could have seen this garden faster if I flew out there myself!

Hi, Do you offer training in aquaponics online and if not you know anyone who does? I am really interested in it
