Creator Sharon and Dan Hanan on January 13
You know how I love you guys as well as Ten Acre Organics ! This video needs, I think, some strengthining. I strongly suggest dropping the word "waste" when talking about the water coming from the fish tank. I have no problem with it personally, but the word is a signal that it is unclean and perhaps unsafe or infected. If you go directly from fish water to cleaning the water without the word "waste" and use the descriptive phrase "nutrient filled" to describe the water that goes to the plants, it sounds more wholesome I think. Start the video focused on the green growing plants instead of the tanks because they are colorless. Can you actually capture a picture of the fish? In all I think this video is not as strong as some of the previous.. Make it smoother; leave out the hesitancy and the filler words. All the above is meant as positive feedback for your great project. Remember, I love you guys! Sharon
