Looks like they're tryn to sell an old concept with a different 'name'.. Looks to be a standard Dwc with a larger pump and difuser to give the appearance of a diff growin style.. This could b made with a fourth of the cost :thumbsup:
google: dwc/swc / bubbleponics / bubblebucket = relatively same idea.
Bingo. This is yet another example of marketing. Make a buzzword, make it seem like something new and wonderful, when in reality it's the same garbage.Quote:

Do yourself a favor and get a PH pen right to start with. Besides my light it is the most important equipment I have.
I like this company though. I have come across other systems they have designed before. Their clean, simple and cheap, which is perfect for those people that want a turn key system.
Nothing more then DWC system here though. The air pump is larger then what most people use, but probably about the right size in the end anyway. I think most people probably fail in DWC because of an improper air pump size. That doesn't seem to be an issue with this system. The air stones are nothing special. They just cant be found at wal-mart is all. Hydro and fish stores sell all sorts of fine ground air stones. Lots of air causes lots of fine bubbles.
I would pass on purchasing the system, however if you like the design, I would rip it off in a heartbeat. I guarantee that sucker will put out pot by the buckets.
P.S. I'm sort of offended by the Oxyponics term (not that the OP coined it). I dont think more air makes for a new system. If anything I would reserve the term Oxyponics for a system similar to Auqaponicherb or whatever his name is, where he uses venturi jets as a means to oxygenate the water. Something like that with large air pumps might even lead to an oxygen toxicity it's got so much oxygen in there.
thank you all for your replies i was already thinking of trying to make one my self but later down the line bt for now ill stick to what i kno best thanks again
