Ahh yes... good old Colle & Phyliss....

Some of the most ordinary systems being marketed... based on almost zero pratical aquaponics experience... and almost as much knowledge and understanding of aquaponics....

Some of the information they provide is not just poor... but wrong....

A "university".... these guys would struggle to run an "Aquaponics 101" course.... or even produce an e-book....

They're not members of any aquaponic forums.. or even the proposed aquaponics association in the US...

You wont find a positive comment about Mr Davis or his systems anywhere on the net....

Why so many negative responses? Has anyone had personal experience with these guys?

Do you need direct experience when they constantly spam and scam their way through the 'Net?

Where would I find reference on the net they have scammed people?

Google 760-208-2663 and look at all the crap

Trying to claim yourself as a "university" when it's just an on-line marketing exercise is deceptive.. $1000 for an online course? I'll be giving it a miss...

I googled Colle Davis and came up with a substantial amount of results but nothing that mentioned scam or any negative reviews. Are there any other places to look?


Isn't most advertising we see every day, more so online, deceptive to some extent?

Must we go on

So that makes it alright then?

Do you think the site is fake or something else?

If you call yourself a "Research Institute" for example Permiculture Research Institute and no research papers have been published, does that make them scammers and frauds or is this specifically an aquaponics issue?
