- With this pandemic going on, i jst realized that we all need to learn how to produce our food at least 50% or more based on our consumption. i was lucky that i hv a backyard to start with & make use of it for the good of my family.
Another great filtration system my friend. Well done video.
thank you my friend!
Love the video and the fitting quote...🇯🇲
Thank you!
Truly the best system I have seen for the 1000 gallon. Awesome job man.
Glad you like it!
AMAZING!!!
Boa tarde amigo show de bola seu sistema TMJ

@@BackyardHobby 4869274 Thanks
Very nice👍 Thank you!
Thank you too!
Great setup man
Thank you my friend
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
totally amazed here... got nothin' to say.
Thank you! your comment motivate me
Awesome setup. What brand of dry pellets do you feed them? I got inspired of building my own filtration system for my tilapia pond with this video.
What are the sizes of the drums used for each pond? The drums in the front look like 55 gallon drums and the trash can looks like a 32 gallon trash can. How much PVC pipe did you use for this set up? I also want to build a backup generator just in case of a power outage. I’m trying to build something like this in my back yard to become more self sufficient due to all the rising prices here in the US. I’m also planning to build a chicken coop on my property too. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!
Unless I missed some joke, I think you might have attributed the quote at the end to the wrong person.
There's no joke, jst saying learning to raise fish (aquaculture) will provide livelihood
@@BackyardHobby Well considering it was not said(or originally said) by Mother Teresa, and you're saying it's not a joke........ Are you willfully or accidentally wrong? More than likely, its a quote by Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. You are doing a disservice to your audience and probably Taoism by trying to attribute it to the obviously wrong individual.
@@UA-camShortsAreTheDevil Thanks for your info, its jst happened that i heard & learned that quote frm one of mother teresa's words of wisdom. Tnx for your correction again!.
From the Philippines
salamat sa pagwatch ng video, i subscribed to your channel & i enjoyed your video....
hi amazing set up can you help me too build my own fish pond great vid
U can learn & setup your own by watching videos & ask questions on comment section like what i did
Id love to see this in person
I live in Guam USA, jst message me if its happen you stopby Guam & b my guest!
How many gph pump you got for that setup
My roommate is thinking of raising some type of fish for food in our backyard. She doesn't have a clue where to start leaning how to do the whole fish filter/pump ect setup on a small scale & later take it to another level as experience is gained. Plus living in Colorado can be brutal in the winter so not sure if having a tank setup outside would be wise even under a roof like your setup. Cool idea about growing duckweed in floating baskets to feed your fish.
Oh yeah, living in colorado is kind of hard to raise fish, it has to be indoor & need water heater to maintain right temperature during winter, but nothing is imposiible if fishkeeping is your passion. Thanks for liking my video.
wow, great set-up! first time watcher here. are you by any chance an engineer?
Thank you, im not an engineer im jst a hobbyist that love what im doing.
I'm using an 18 foot dough boy with new liner, center drain for cleaning. I have unlimited water. I will use the so called waste water on the garden areas. I like the duck weed cages. I plan on using solar for aeration, an solar lighting to attract bugs, It does work well with blue gill fish. I need to cover my pools with netting or wire for bird protection.
You hv a very good setup, i wish i can watch a video of yours
Thank you for sharing this! How many kg do you estimate you are able to harvest annually from this setup? How often are you able to harvest for food? Very keen on being 100% self sustaining in the current global context. Thank you for your time & knowledge.
It depends on how strong & how big your filtration when it comes to stocking density. On my 1000gal tank setup i can stock 300 tilapia that has weight of 2lbs each. 300 x 2 = 600lbs = 266kgs annually. I only harvest whenever my family feels like eating fresh tilapia usually weekend when were all together.
@@BackyardHobby Wow! Really inspiring, thanks so much once again for sharing your knowledge & experience. 🙏
Where do you get the blue baskets for the duck weed
That basket is used to be a food cover on top a dining table, its easy to find in the market that usually sell household kitchen staff
What do you do with all the mosquitos forming from the filter tanks?
Those are midgets( blood worm larvae), they are beneficial, they’re breaking down fish waste into non toxic form. Mosquitos wont survive in running water.
How does the fish taste? Im just curious, after watching many videos. Only one person mentioned the taste of his fish. It seems that is very complicated to build. Is it possible to start small.?
It taste like salt water fish, thats the advantage of growing your own food. u know its clean and free from toxic. Yes u can start small and upgrade once youre getting the knowledge, i started watching legit youtubers and asking questions frm comment section, thats how i learned.
Tilapia is usually a very mild fish.
Awesome
Does your Tilapia like and eat duckweed?!
Yes, they love duckweed, save me atleast 50% on fish food expenses!
Is it possible to only feed them duck weed? Like if their is a down grid situation and can't get fish food
Love the set-up. My pond is larger with 40000 tilapia, would be interested in that filtration system
Wow u hv a huge pond with a lot of fish, the larger the pond the more complicated when it comes to filtration
If you had unlimited water you would just flow water through the system. That's my plan. Solar water well pumping as much as 50 GPM through several tanks.
What size of your pond sir and how many in one pond? Thank you nice. Area
My tilapia pond is 1000 gallon, 8ft height & 3 ft depth, i always apply the one fish per 2 gallon principle so i stocked 500 tilapia in that pond........
🤔👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Do they breed? If so, do they eat the babies? How do you keep the babies safe until they get big enough not to be eaten by the adults?
i hv a seperate tub for breeding with 1 male to 5 females ratio, i harvested fry and raise them in a 30 gal aquarium, within a month they will grow as fingerlings & ready to b transfeered to the 1000 gal tilapia pond.
@@BackyardHobby I wish I were smart enough to breed tilapia I need to figure it out maybe part of the problem is I am not smart enough to sex them and set up a proper breeding tank or maybe I need warmer water or something. I am smart enough to have a lot of fish but too soft to kill them on a schedule and the bigger they grow the more I want to keep them. Oh well.
Ang Galing naman po anu po yung pag kain nayan? Saan po ako nyan makaka kiha?
Duckweed & commercial pellets lng
, marami niiyan sa atin.
How many gph water pump are you using
1000 GPH becket brand
How much does it cost you to run two 500g/hr pumps 24/7
With or without pump, my powerbill is the same Lol. Actually one pump is 35 watts so two pumps is 70 watts, its like turning on one lightbulb 24/7.
Which one is best fish meat red talapia or black talapia ?
Red tilapia for me is more better, taste like ocean fish
Great system, but the bottom most text on screen is cut off and difficult to interpret.
I apologized, still learning on making video, jst noticed those mistakes after uploaded, will improve for more better viewing. Thank you!
where can i buy a 1000 gallon tilapia pond like that
I got that frm online craigslist, somebody quit the hobby and im jst lucky to hv it.
How can I build one in Jamaica starting small
I started raising tilapia in a 80 gal aquarium with 1 male & 5 females, until they breed thousands of fry, i harvested the fry & raised them in a 30 gal aquarium and 1 month after i started to setup a 1000 gal tub for growout and the rest is history.....
Dont give up on your dream, start small and build🇯🇲🇯🇲. Good luck!
What Country do you live?
GUAM
where can we purchase 1000gal container?
Hello, i jst got lucky somebody quit the hobby and sold the container through craigslist but u can google or try check alibaba.com then type on search, there’s a bunch of suppliers available.
@@BackyardHobby..I did see those in alibaba..what is the exact terminology for these things? How do you call it?
Aquaculture tub
That left blue drum is full of mosquitoes or midge
Those are midge (bloodworm larvae) they"re beneficial by breaking down toxic solids into a non toxic form, the more the better.
let's listen to his knowledge and experience...
