This is so cool. Imagine if every office building would do this? Instead of haveing "goldfish or koi" Have regular "eating" fish. Now that would make for a cool pond.
aquaponics! woot woot! This stuff is an amazing step towards a more sustainable future. The only thing I can't wrap my head around is how to aerate without consuming too much electricity...
This is pretty amazing,on a lot of different levels!! Kudos!! I'm amazed there aren't a pile of this type set up here in Fl, where the weather precludes heating costs in a greenhouse. Steve
what you have here is a very nice set up im looking to do the same thing on a smaller scale fish worms and plants all things i like all rounded into one
I kinda wonder with the setup, where you get the electricity from? Is it off the power grid? I was kinda thinking that it would be pretty cool to setup your own system to generate electricity considering how you about have a complete environment, I don't see why you couldn't produce hydro electric? May be a small investment, but it may pack you back, and it would really have a nice confined setup where it's completely self sufficient.
This is pretty amazing,on a lot of different levels!! Kudos!! I'm amazed there aren't a pile of this type set up here in Fl, where the weather precludes heating costs in a greenhouse. We are doing a 16'x20' aquaponics greenhouse on our property right now-system has been cycling for 6 months using koi to provide nutrients for the plants...next step is 100 catfish. What are you folks using for growing medium in the pots on racks? Steve
@HighTowerMinistries pine straw it's acidic which would bring the pH down a bit when it decompses, but don't add to much, just sprinkle a little a mulch
We have so many empty factories where I live that by opening place like this alomst everyong in our town would have a job. I hope that they are doeing well.
pearch,hybrid bass,fresh water prawns,tilapia,I could see fresh water shrimp getting fat off of this.now if they started going more verticle with this as the sky is the limit I would love to see that and how they would prop up the fish tanks at different levels and have walkways to harvest food!! there's a lot of possibilities here for sure.

What are they using to feed the fish. Feeding PHarmed Fish remains the biggest obstacle. Are they being fed antibiotics, growth hormones, hydrolyzed poultry feathers and such?
Love what youre doing and your informative video Thank you!! What is the best ph level for the fish? Im a pioneer with an open source sustainable community project called OneCommunityRanch (a .org) and we are getting ready to set up an organic farm using Aquaponics and are hoping to find some members educated in this system of growing. Thank You for the video and in helping to change our world!!
This system is ideal for sustainable development and of course, the fish does not have mercury like the fish from the oceans. At the same time there is no need for transportation. Very god guys keep on telling people how to do it in underdeveloped countries.
@PatientEve i know it looks cruel but if generations of these fish have grown up this way then they should be accustomed to it. it also applies with other animals such as rabbits and chickens.
dont listen to those devils Will. you know exactly what youre doing. now they are trying to understand. you should not have shared your wisdom with them
@ adityadg7890 and PatientEve Do you even hear the content? Yellow-lake perch are diminished. They are saving them. If they do nothing, they'll be gone. Growing Power is a non-profit that teaches people and children to grow food - not just fish- on a beyond organic intensive method that is an alternative to factory farming/industrial farms. The water in the tanks is cleaner than the area's lakes and rivers because of the plants (watercress and others) filtering the water.
We need more of these food centers across the U.S.
Imagine this franchised in a manner to where the community ultimately gains with overall economic stability. Bravo!
This is a great idea, as long as the food is safe to eat. Well done!

Let's hear it for mercury free fish. What a wonderful idea. I hope that this catches on around the US.

This is absolutely fantastic....Godspeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice video! Gotta find out more about this project!

Any update on this project? Is it healthy? Is it financially feasible? Are the fish as healthy and nourishing as fish we'd find in the wild?
@HighTowerMinistries pine straw it's acidic which would bring the pH down a bit when it decompses, but don't add to much, just sprinkle a little a mulch
This brings hope and employment while reducing wasteful transpiration.
great idea i fully support project's like this.
excellent system and well done.
This is awesome. Would love to introduce it too Australia !!!
Now that's what I call "going green".

@buzzbuzzquack ......how about containing the gnats that hang around ripening/decomposing foods and feed them to the fish and or compost them
@janicmc1 have the water drop at a higher distance to the water so it creates natural aeration in the water..
how do you eliminate the condensation in the greenhouse in the winter time when you are heating it?
I'm going to build one in my room...I love eating fish but I don't like paying money for it
A truly amazing man.
How do you heat this up during the winter?
That is awesome!!!
do you use city water ?it dose have fluoride which is bad for people .
Are there any known differences between these yellow perchand tilapia
You can use a siphon that will run indefinetly or a series of siphons.
@HighTowerMinistries go to an aquarium shop,you can buy a product called PH down,alternatively you can use lemon juice, or vinegar.

wow this is awesome!
how much does to this cost to do?
one word, Genius.
@splashy9 As long as your not adding any chemicals, the food would be great.
@imglashaus1 Where can I buy Tilapia hatchlings? Anyone know?
@grandmastermicochero Depends on if your in a country that gets snow and ect..
awesome!
@tetracanthus NO CHEMICALS IT IS ALL 100% NATURAL... THATS WHY THEY USE THE FISH. srry for the caps....
Good. Cheers to this. =)
Lets put this on the news, not depressing shit.

i wounder if i could do somthing like this in a basement and have food year round?
the chaep guy
come to melbourne

Thumbs up
that is bad ass
@lookingforthemeaning if it were government funded it would be hi tech state of the art.
if this was government funded it would fix a few issues
Mercury is found in fish atbth
Look for Tilapia fish - we can live and eat natural.
FISHPOOP!!!
@likeaduck if this was government funded it would have collapsed with the banks.
MMmmm.... perch
I wish there was a "Growing Power" here in the San Antonio Texas inner city.
