G'Day Folks. Took a trip out to a mate's scaled back commercial aquaponics farm to help him clean out a grow bed through the week. Allan was kind enough to let me do a quick clip looking at different aspects of the system so I could share it with you folks.
The system came with the property when it was purchased it so he's slowly been rectifying the design issues as they pop up & as time allows.
Hope you enjoy this quick farm tour & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all. 🐟 🌱🍅

@@RIDDLESWORTH Unfortunately he doesn't have any of the schematics for the build. Most of the improvements will be based around the placement of pipes & outlets on the hydro side for the time being I think.

@renerere2232 9 месяцев назад

Nice video and cool setup. I am not too surprised that it failed as a commercial system. Usually you can only do it with DWC and using clay pebbles is more of a hobby thing, but of course still works in general.

@lifeofmaya9518 3 года назад

I think this system is the most amazing and useful thing I have ever heard about! And it apparently uses %90 less water than an ordinary farming system

@RobsAquaponics 3 года назад

That's what some say but only very well-tuned ones will operate at that level. Most commercial & backyard systems won't. People that sell courses & products like to use that claim in their sale pitch but I'm yet to see them provide proof that their particular system or methods do so.😉 In my old system, I found it used about 75% less water (at a calculated guess) than what a normal soil bed would use. Our self-watering wicking beds use about the same amount but unfortunately, it's very hard to grow fish in them so that's why we started aquaponics. 😉😁 Cheers & have a top one s Sis VS Sis. 👍👍

@RobsAquaponics 4 года назад

There's not much to the fish side of things really Mathew. You still need to do water tests if it's just hydro. The filter maintenance would be the only real extra work that needs to be done other than feeding the fish. 👍 Hope your system grows well for you no matter how it's set up mate. 🌱🌱 Cheers & have a top one.

Stay safe and healthy!

Have found both thrive in wicking beds. I have grown the lime in both containers & the ground here. I prefer to grow them in containers so we can move the small trees around the patch. Hope your bed builds go smoothly. 😃

@nabeelz4977 3 года назад

Hi Rob love your channel ,I would just like to know if there is any benefit of having 2 or more fish tanks over 1 large tank

@RobsAquaponics 3 года назад

Having multiple tanks means that you can have fish of different age at the same time. It can be a pain to try & harvest the larger fish from a mixed age tank. Some species also do better by themselves & also require size grading as they will attempt to eat fish smaller than themselves. Asian sea bass/barramundi will often try & eat smaller tank mates. Hope that helps Nabell. 👍

@TheSylverBaLou 8 месяцев назад

What is the main reason small commercial farms like this one fail ( aside from the lock downs ) so much. I am looking to get into the commercial side and would like any pointers so i can work on then. Love the content and congratulations on the new farm!!

@RobsAquaponics 8 месяцев назад

From what I've seen I think it's due to them not doing their market research first. While many like the "sustainable" aspect when it comes down to it most consumers just want cheap produce I think. In saying that, there are success cases out there as well where folks find their niche with either the fish or the veg side. You just don't hear about them much in social media as most folks tend to focus on the failures unfortunately.

@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia 4 года назад

That is what i'm working towards having now. I'm grading and graveling a 100 by 60 pad to build a large greenhouse on that i have on site and i want to build a "nutrient generator" with the three blue tanks i have which are the same size as those green ones you showed there and the 9 -100 gallon nursery tanks i have for starting young fish. I Also am getting two 1000 gallon tanks to stock enough trout to generate enough waste nutrients to feed field row crops and greenhouse wicking beds etc,. by pumping filtered nutrient water to drip irrigation. I've never seen anyone attempt this and want to try it.

Not sure of the brand. Look up "Aquaculture Tanks" & you should see a number pop up. From what I've seen there are tank manufacturers in every state in OZ so you'll probably find it cheaper to buy locally as freight can be rather expensive due to their bulky size.

Amazing design, im trying a small commercial farm and want to try this so i have a couple questions. I have 30m² of growing space half for growbed(biofilter) and another half for floating rafts. 1) What is my needed fish biomass/how many (gonna harvest at 300grams cause of local demand) 2) what is the stock density with tilapia, something fairly dense to rpevent reproduction. 3) What fish stocking technique is preferable so that i can have constant nutrients for the plants?

@RobsAquaponics 3 года назад

What caused the commercial farm to fail?

@RobsAquaponics 2 года назад

Personal issues with the previous owners as I understand it.

@ricardojuvanelli2172 4 года назад

hello rob is Ricardo Juvanelli here from Brazil, you would like to participate in a live on our channel, it would be another chat even just for the honor of having you here.

@RobsAquaponics 3 года назад

Would definitely be an interesting chat with the language barrier Ricardo. 😉 Have a load of followers from brazil & would like to get the clips translated into Portuguese at some point. Cheers mate. 👍

@@RobsAquaponics hello rob I'm sorry for the delay in responding I was working a lot. rob if u accept this chat i have a friend who will do the simultaneous translation between the languages, as i told you we would not take much of your time, it is the pleasure of talking with you for a few minutes that would be the honor for me.
