please add some cherry or determinate tomatoes to your grow!

I got a 250W CFL for the peppers.  If it works well, I will try both!

+New Earth Hydroponics don't break the bank. just use a few cfl's. they work well at 65 watt (actual wattage) per square foot.

+threedogwrite As soon as I get the Carolina Reapers going well, I am planning on starting some sort of heirloom tomato. I will also have to get a new light for that! Hopefully the wife agrees!

I got so distracted by how he looks like a lesbian. I was laughing the entire time, and missed what he was talking about. I even watched it twice and still laughed. *sigh* Black lesbians.

+shakaama I'm straight cry-laughing at this comment. so funny.

Good start but after a few weeks your ammonia is going to go off the charts because of the solids (fish poop) going straight into your grow beds. Not good. ( good way to start up but not good long term ). Add a settlement tank between the fish and the grow bed to collect solids. Put the solids in your garden or on your lawn. Also add a venturi valve on the down spout of the water line to the fish and eliminate the need for an air pump.

+Thorne991 I run a settling tank, but am thinking about vermiculture as well

JT Bear commented on 20 Dec 2014

Awesome but you NEED a settlement tank ... I learned this the hard way!

+JT Bear I love your video, particularly your ideas in the second half about what is aquaponics system. Something I also found helpfull for aquaponics plans pdf was Panlarko Expert Aquaponics Planner - if anyone wants to know more search on google

@SurfMonkeyCoconut wow i had no idea..in part because i just buy on ebay and have yet to try and sell anything...on that note i completely understand..do you guys have a blog or something that you guys can utilize for a more direct means of selling your items? instead of having to be pressured by ebay to make a potential nothing on your already low prices? if so you can message me here or we can find other means of communication, but i feel that for the items you offer and the info you give

SurfMonkeyCoconut commented on 10 May 2011

@vewdew3 Awesome! We plan to introduce hydroponic stuff, but we need to grow the business just a little before doing so! but thanks for the recommendation! Ebay has made it really difficult for sellers lately especially those who sell large heavy items such as us! Ebay puts a lot of pressure on offering free shipping, but with low overhead items it is impossible to cover $10-$20 parcel charges. As of April, (seemingly as a penalty) ebay is now charging additional selling fees on the...

cool! Thx for the rating! When the plant was a seedling I set the timer to go on for 1 hour, 4x during the daylight hours, so: 6am, 10am, 2pm & 6pm. Basically enough to keep the medium moist through the day. Night time was cool enough where no evaporation took place. Once the plant got larger, it began to consume more water, dried up the rock wool much quicker and wilted if it was without water for too long. So I eventually adjusted the timer to go on for 30mins and off for 30mins.

SurfMonkeyCoconut commented on 30 Aug 2011

@FlashGameReviews True! I guess if you don't have an aquarium, you will need to go and purchase these items. I was under the assumption that most people have an unused aquarium from the 80's somewhere in the house or at your parent's/grandma's house. I think the 10 gal pumps are about $7-10 at walmart. But ghetto indeed, however i think thats the beauty of this system, instead of spending hundreds on a commercial system and even more cash for proprietary replacement components.

vewdew3 commented on 10 May 2011

@SurfMonkeyCoconut inded if you guys start a blog let me know i would be more than willing to buy direct and support a fellow enthusiast ..rather than worrying about the conclusions people at our local shops concoct in there heads..they reported my purchases 2 times and the cops showed up and all they found was a legit vegetable garden...probably because i moved here a year ago and have a bald head and wear baggy clothes..lmao

SurfMonkeyCoconut commented on 11 May 2011

@marito001 It should work, the only issue I can foresee is perhaps not enough pressure due to the large container size. I used an air pump rated for a 10 gallon aquarium, if it doesn't work you may need to purhcase a larger pump. As for staying sealed, yes it will work becasue the air pressures we are dealing with are actually very small, especially since there is a relief for the pressure as the liquid is pushed downwards

I like your video that shows how to use plastic bottles. I added your video to my playlist on my channel. My playlist has over 100 videos about reusing plastic bottles like yours and is titled - How to reuse and recycle plastic PET Bottles. Thanks for sharing your video. I think it will encourage many people to start reusing items we normally discard and to be more creative like you.

SurfMonkeyCoconut commented on 14 Feb 2010

Thats only a guideline, observe your plant to figure out its needs. In this video you can see I had a timer that uses the plastic pins to turn the timer on and off, it only comes with 4 pins. I had to buy a better timer (about $6) at home depot that had tabs instead of pins that you can pop in and out. This timer allows it to go on and off every 15 minutes if you want.

SurfMonkeyCoconut commented on 19 Aug 2009

You can find air tube kits at petco or petsmart in the fish supplies. The valve you are looking for is the plastic one with the screw type (knob) air adjustment. Just unscrew that adjustment a tad to allow air through during the ebbing stage without impeding air flow during the flood stage...play around with it to find the correct adjustment! :D

Moholmarn commented on 14 Feb 2010

i always thought of hydropnics as warehouse projects but this totally changed my train of thought :) really nice idea 5/5 the only part i didn't get was the timing, i've watched all 4 parts and read some comments and noticed that you mentioned something about 4h. so is it on for 4h and off 4h or on 4h and off 15 min? thx for an awesome idea :)

Busyme commented on 11 May 2011

@SurfMonkeyCoconut well I have a 10 gallon pump and just purchased a 40 gallon in case it needs more then I will use the 40 gallon pump. I used the 10 gallon pump yesterday just tip see how it worked and it was bubbling pretty well, just need to make the hole at the bottom and drill a smaller hole and see how that works.
