Should the grow bad became empty of water, and filled up again with fresh water? Should the recirculating pump be working all day long 24/24 nonstop from the beginning (planting) until harvesting?

    As was mentioned in the video its recommended that you change the water but not entirely necessary if its above 1000L and your plants are doing well, in that case you can change it every month or two or when you feel necessary depending on your system. by change I mean drain and fill new water. No the pump can be turned on at leased 4-6 times a day for about 5+ minutes

    Yes, but not completely underwater or the plant will drown, There has to be a small gap between water and top of the net pot which is not underwater, this usually is the case because the polystyrene which is 200mm or more allows this breathing area for the plants roots if not then your water level should be lowed to allow for this gap.

    Regarding the floats, Yes the Styrofoam holds up the net pots with the lettuce they basically float on the water. Is the table built at a slight slant? No it is as level as possible (otherwise one side would have alot of water and the other little to no water) Is the table ever drained of water? occasionally we do drain the water but in reality the water is always being replenished by the plants consuming most of it or the sun evaporating it we are on a daily basis filling/topping up the system. And we do recirculate the water also.

    the weight would be enormous ,, i dont know where you are but you must have cheap plywood,, here its a fortune,, better to build on the ground with just 12 inch sides and the liner,, this is nice but very time consuming to build and expensive.

    Have you ever thought about introducing oxygen into your water. I've heard of people buying oxygen tanks or buying oxygen concentrators and hooking them up to their air tubes.
