Aquaponics system, everything you need to know to start Aquaponics garden
from building the system Cycling Your Garden
I’ll tell you the major types of fish used in aquaponics
Aquaponics system at home
For this system I’m going to use 55-gallon Plastic Barrel
A popular, low-cost option
many early aquaponics gardeners have used 55-gallon plastic barrel
Most aquaponics gardeners use blue barrels.
Black is often used for chemicals that are not food safe
White barrels may not block light sufficiently to prevent algae growth, and you may need to paint them on the outside.
In order to use 55-gallon barrels for your system, you’ll need to cut them
Mark at 7 inches from the edge of the barrel.
Use a flexible ruler and draw a circle.
These barrels are thick,
Draw the shape you want, square, rectangle, circle …
You need leave 2 inches from the top and 1.5 Ft from the barrel bottom.
And so we are done with the tank
Next the grow bed
Use silicone and seal the drum Cap
Make sure the silicone is safe for fish
I’m going to make this bed flood and drain using Auto-Siphon.
Why Flood and Drain Your Media Beds?
Your plant roots need water and nutrients, but they also need oxygen.
When you flood your media bed-fill the bed with water -from your fish tank which is rich in nutrients.
When you drain your media bed-suck out the water-
air will rush into the spaces between the rocks in your grow bed.
Air is 21 percent oxygen, and that oxygen will dissolve
in the water remaining on the surfaces of the rocks and roots
and can be absorbed by the living things in your grow bed.
These will include your plant roots and the bacteria

Relaxing and educational, the best kind. Thank you.
Thank you .
This system is the best and easiest way I’ve watched a lot of videos finding out what to do and so far this is the one I’m going to use 👍
thanks
U hit a home run with this video man 🔥🔥
thanks .
exactly what i was looking for
thank you
you're welcome
It's awesome thank you for sharing 🙏
welcome
I love the video but I feel you move too quickly through the part where you actually place the pump. I can’t see what goes inside or outside the container
Great video - but - I have seen cases where fish poop may get caught in the grow medium. How do you avoid such an issue?
you can add a small filter , this system is running till now , so far it is doing fine.
This is something I've been interested in for some time now, and I think this video is about to kick my bum into gear and make my first, one question from me is roughly how much media will be required to fill the flip top?
Hi there !
40 L about 17 kg .
All the best this great system to start Hydroponic garden.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB, Cool, here in the UK I can buy a 45L bag for about UK£20, so it's not as expensive as I thought that might be :-)
Great video. Can you tell me where I place the pump? I see it on the list of things to buy but can’t see in the video where you placed it
I placed it inside the fish tank.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thanks for taking the time to reply - I appreciate it.
Hi, thanks for the video! Why did you add another extra filter? The grow medium should be enough right? Also, is a fiber not easier than add a filter in de bottom of the tank? Wierd question: to increase acid is urine also an option?
i added filter to remove the hard waste , so the grow bed will be our bio filter .
yes urine in an option, i recommend to add 2 or 3 dead fish 🐠.
Nice!!!
thank you
you're welcome
How many days it took to grow the mint in the system?
Sir! My aquaponic project is almost done. It is around 95% complete. However, I cannot find the model of your water pump you showed in this video, let alone where to buy one. I really need your help, sir!
where do you live ?
I'm guessing, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong; but because of the size of the barrel this will limit the size that the fish stock would grow to?
That's a myth. They will outgrow.
Can we grow seeds from a packet or should we sprout those first and then add them to the system?
the best germinate your seeds first then transfer them to the system.
Does that mean utilizing a hydroponic garden to create a 'starter-plant"?
Does the barrel have to be food or fisb grade?
food grade
i want to ask if how many times you change water
I don't change the water I just clean the filter.
Are you malaysian?
What amount of pure liquid ammonia can be added to the water? also, can the ammonia de added while the fish is still in the water? I got tilapia from a close by lagoon but from 3 fishes i got just 1 survived. I used purified water on the barrel, since the tilapia are fresh water fish.
better cycle your system before adding the fish , ammonia is very toxic for the fish you can watch my this video more details:
ua-cam.com/video/Pmg5pL9LMcg/v-deo.html
can coco peat be used to replace clay pellets? its much cheaper
not recommended...
Why cut up the black sponge filter instead of cutting them in disks instead?
How you manage your fish tank as grow bed is over the fish tank ?
there is two windows to feed the fish , clean...etc
How can you help me to start aquaponic tomato farming
where you from!
i dont understand the last part. Where did u insert the white pvc with the cap? into the siphon tube?
What is it for?
Hi there!
3" pvc with the end cap is the Moving part , I just put it inside the guard pipe on top of the stand pipe , exactly how I showed with plastic bottle.
Correct me if i am wrong.
The reason why there is no airpump introduced in this video is because the water following down from the grow bed created air bubble. Which is why there is no need for a air pump for the fish?
yes correct 💯
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB You installed a filter, what is it for? Wouldn't the pebble act as another kind of filter? I am exploring aquaponic, so i am still learning hope you don't mind me asking.
@@damienong1462 i used a filter to remove the hard waste, the pebbles can work as afilters but will getr dirty very fast.
I'm surprised the growing media doesn't clog the drain
the holes are smaller than the grow media.. that's why .
Can I buy one already built lol
DIY
Maybe I miss look or not understand
This systems is free maintenance?
Need to clean fish poop or not?
There is a filter to remove the fish poop and bio filter to clean the water from the toxic ammonia + grow media will filter the water , you need add the water that evaporated .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB btw this hydroponics plant have any insects? How you protect the plant?
Less pest comparing to traditional garden .
Why can these fishes not be eaten ?

WTF IS A KILOMETER
Plastic in your fish....
