A quick explanation for those unable to watch the video.

With a double Dutch bucket setup there are two buckets on top of each other similar to SWCs. The top or inner bucket has multiple holes drilled in the bottom for nutrient solution to drain completely out.

The bottom bucket only has a hole for the nutrients to drain out of the bucket. So when the pump isn't running the growing media doesn't sit in the water/reservoir at all.

All around it is a very nice setup and I'm very happy with the results so far.

If there are any other questions fire away.
Edit :
I've added my thread url for some pics of my basic setup.
