Bell Syphons Explained + Aquaponic System Tour: Feat. Rob Bob 🐟♻️🌱

[@ElOroDelTigre]

The crossover we didn't know we needed! Rob's the greatest.

[@mbeining11]

Rob Bob is responsible for getting me interested in water + plants, and the birth of my greenthumb interests; and Hoocho catapulted my ability to run hydroponics in my place. Thank you both so much, man! Grateful for you two working out a video together! Cheers!

[@yearofthegarden]

I recently purchased a 3d printer during black friday, mainly to make custom grow room vent attachments for my mycology production, but also to start exploring the idea of customizing my hydroponics setup

[@agess658]

2 of the greatest aquaponics and hydroponic legandary men around thanks for video

[@agess658]

Due to a very hot and dry spring/summer my aquaponics have failed me this season.. all the daily power outages have not helped ether

[@Blxz]

Pretty cool idea. Love the idea of the collaboration.

[@mrinsanitii]

my favourite two youtube channel collab!

[@wayne8113]

Thanks Hoocho & Rob 👍

[@DangerZone-w6y]

Rob Bob Aquaponics... EXCELLENT VID!

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

My 2 favourite KZbinrs in one place. Awesome.

[@rjaquaponics9266]

A properly built bell syphon is fascinating and it will work flawlessly with proper in flow and root ball maintenance.

[@Pistolpete28]

I love you two, and love the bromance you are both legends who can come together for the betterment of everyone.

[@chia_pet7121]

1:20 Looked like one of the stones from the Fifth Element movie.

[@pixelrancher]

Two legends.

[@mrleeal]

hell yeah rob bobs a legend

[@kerryevans2038]

The two of my favourite to watch u tubers.😊

[@EduardoHerreroAyuso]

Wold' best collab

[@Budginut]

I've been wanting a aquaponics setup here in Ballarat for ages. Thankyou for bringing Rob Bob to my attention. I just bought his guide, it's what I've been looking for to move from pipe dream to reality lol

[@grim-1369]

Amazing seeing you two doing a collaboration video!

[@chia_pet7121]

1:32 Would it be better to have some built in 'knock-outs' to increase flow in case people are dealing with substantial roots blocking the flow? Or the other hand, put in plugs to fill some of the inlets, possibly use a slider/door to expose the extra inlets?

[@captaincaveman00]

Been waiting for the bucket set up cant wait for that to come out very keen Great work hoocho

[@CatHamster-wf5xs]

Nice 1 Mr Hoocho. An excellent guide to the bell siphon & aquaponics

[@ananyaratnakaran391]

I was wondering if you would ever get a colab with Bob and you did. Extremely delighted.❤❤

[@Hoocho]

This is actually our second collab haha

[@ananyaratnakaran391]

@@Hoocho I'm sorry I missed it. Will definitely look it up on your channel. Thank you for your response

[@davidmoore7303]

Great work fellas 💪

[@Meansi]

It’s like a Pythagorean cup! It’s a wine cup designed to make guests less greedy with their pours. Or maybe just one guy got fed up with his one friend in Ancient Greece. If you fill it too far the whole cup drains once the siphon engages.

[@gui1710]

How about setting up a rain gutter grow sistem with a bell siphon at the end? Maybe in a bucket to make it easier to set the water level...

[@moqo]

Love the crossover content. Hope Rob's new property will open alot of new doors for him. Hope his system finds a good new home ;)

[@antoniosanford4675]

Love the crossover. Wish you two would do a livestream together.

[@BFMVXYZ]

we've got flow, yeah dog

[@masondawson4061]

I make printed vases for my wife's flower shop, and getting them to not leak was quite the challenge. Since I use vase mode for this we are only dealing with a single wall so print geometry plays a factor as well. Anyway with the proper design I get watertight prints using a .8mm nozzle with an extrusion multiplier of 1.3, or 130%. This is going to be a bit too much for something with multiple walls, but you can always just print a single wall, maybe two with the rest being infill, or lower the extrusion rate to something a little lower than 1.3, but higher than 1. Increasing the extrusion rate is one of the keys to watertight/airtight prints. Also if your filament is wet it will boil off the water as it passes through the nozzle which will create bubbles that pop turning into holes.

[@christiankapler1618]

Why would your filament be wet?

[@masondawson4061]

Most filaments are hygroscopic. Some more than others. It's the same thing as when you open a bag of potato chips, and they get stale, loosing their crunch. Especially in the summer when things are nice, and humid. It is kind of counterintuitive to think of plastic this way, but it is so. Take for example Nylon. You just about have to print it directly from a filament dryer, or it will soak up too much water from the atmosphere to be any good to print with.@@christiankapler1618

[@eliannamorris7045]

Hoocho, what type of filament did you use for the siphon?

[@jezeralindog3577]

Hoocho's I was wondering if you got a build I could use for my small balcony patio?

[@RGplayer101]

for what plants would you say a bell syphon system works best?

[@rsshaggy]

I've heard of people having fish in their nutrient tanks like Siamese algae eaters and Japanese trapdoor snails. What are your thoughts on this?

[@downunderfulla6001]

Wicked👌🍺🍺

[@mattiasthalen]

Isn’t the flood/drain cycle a bit quick? I thought it would need longer times without water.

[@Hoocho]

The quick flood and drain is really just a very effective way of maintaining a saturation of DO dissolved oxygen within the nutrient and water. Which is sufficient for plants to grow.

[@christiankapler1618]

I can not find the file in Rob Bob's Aquaponics

[@Hoocho]

Flick Rob a message in the app.

[@chia_pet7121]

0:42 Why not goldfish or koi? I'm working on a hydroponics type system to support my fish, not my fish supporting my plants.

[@timbrewer1613]

Works just fine - perch (and other species) are edible so you end up with more food output :)

[@adelinawarriner6259]

cause they are using a food source to grow a good source. I'll be using one to help filter my 125 g community tank while making salad for another protein type ;)

[@chia_pet7121]

@@adelinawarriner6259 he said the fish were too pricey and decided to use chemicals instead.

[@adelinawarriner6259]

@@chia_pet7121 .. wasn't actually referring to the video but responding to a comment.. of he thinks fingerlings are pricy he's never kept aquarium fish ($10-15 each is a normal low end price) or koi (good koi run $250-5000 and up) .. my pond runs $100 a year on fat heads to feed the other fish.. chemicals might seem cheaper to start but they add up also. .. what's expensive - a snapper moving into your stocked pond.. we are know fencing the ponds and setting traps to get the snapping turtles out

[@Budginut]

Lol I should have watched to the end of the video to get the $5 discount. Oh well.

This is basically a very big toilet cistern, isn't it?

My friend I'm going to ask you a very big question my audio text is having do you believe in Jesus Christ as your lord and savior

[@raymond709]

I need to know if you are Jesus Christ or
