[00:00:01]This is exactly what you want for highly circulative and oxygenic or aerobic vermicompost tea aquaculture. Now, the reason that this is at a low 45° angle is because I want it to plunge into the surface of the water directly.

[00:00:21]And that's sort of like a waterfall effect. It's also causing rotation and both of those will facilitate surface aeration. So, two forms there and then we have our air stones, which I need to plug in.

[00:00:43]Okay.

[00:00:46]Still getting this location set up, so definitely a mess.

[00:00:54]Like any >> [music] >> proper compost system should be.

[00:00:58]Okay.

[00:00:58]That's on. Now, I'm going to submerge my air stones.

[00:01:09]If you look closely, you can see that they're pushing out air.

[00:01:14]Okay, dropping those in.

[00:01:16]So, I'm adding in about this much sugar today.

[00:01:20]This is just hardened sugar that I left out and it's totally fine once it goes into the liquid solution, it will then become very soluble and dissolve into the solution. [music] I've also got fresh [clears throat] worm castings and I did add leachate to this, which I very freshly milked out. Oh, yeah.

[00:01:47]And now that I've got all of my aeration going and circulation, I can control the types of microorganisms that grow and don't grow. And this the oxygenic cell culture systems do inhibit the growth of anaerobic or non-oxygen using microorganisms.

[00:02:06]All right, I'm going to have to put you down while I twist this up.

[00:02:13]Didn't bring my tripod today.

[00:02:16]Okay.

[00:02:18]And on with the lid.

[00:02:23]Sometimes it will froth, so at times I'll put down just a little bit of paper, and that way it'll break up the bubbles and so on, but this is a great system. You can with the splitter turn on and off different air closes. I turn the five on that I'm using on this system, and then I'm going to let that go for 24 to 48 hours based on my application.

[00:02:47]Let me know what you think, or if you have any questions.
