How to build a wooden Deep Water Culture Bed for Aquaponics! 

you sir, are a champion

Thank you! This was very helpful.

For the drain, if youtake a small piece of plywood with the hole for the drain cut in it and secure it to the bottom side of the bed with a larger hole cut in the floor of the bed the bulhead will be recessed allowing for more complete drainage.

I like how detail and simple he make it look , thank you !

Excellent video. Building a smaller version of this soon.

Thank for showing

Great job mate!

Very good instructions

Parabéns pelo conteúdo 👏👏👏🇧🇷

I am a new follower of your channel Greetings from Sweden

Good outline man… I like it!

Nice video, thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video. Idea: add links to where you get your materials, how much they cost YOU, and last but not least, Make more videos. lol Subbed today when I found you and liked the 3? videos I have watched so far.

aquaponic gem

Started my aquaponics journey 8 months ago, I've successfully harvest bok choy and spinach with a 10 gallon aquarium with guppies. This is the content I've been looking for. Subscribed

Thank you very much

What's the thickness of the liner your using, looks pretty thick. I have been using a Black LDPE pond lining 1000g

hello sir, do you use geomembrane HDPE tarpaulin for your floating raft system

I would be curious to know what mill liner you used and what it is made out of.

Hello great video I love your content! I was wondering if there was any chance you could vertically integrate this system and add another one on top with lights for the bottom one? Thank you

Oops I see I'm not the first to ask this question! Thank you for your amazing generous videos You have a new subscriber today!! I'm bridging over from hydroponics to Aquaponics so your videos are educating the hell out of me. What kind of liner is that? Is it just a pond liner? If so How thick is yours and where can I get one?

Can I ask how big fish tank or how many litres of fish tank for this size of bed you have made? Do we fill up water in fish tank first or bed first?

May i know what type of material youve used to that liner? thank you so much

For every 8' section, what was your total board length?

salute

Great video!! May I know what type of screws are you using? and how many inches should it be?

Hi there before I ask my question let me say a BIG THANKS tou for your videos. I am new in aquaponics and your videos as therrow as they are have filed most of the gaps i had on the subject. What I am strugling with is the subject of the grow bed liner. Figered out it should be something like pond liner but it raises a questions like is it a special food grade or not. Chemical reaktivity on amonia ,nitrites and nitrates or with the suplements for the plant deffiscienses. Also thicknes and durabilyty and shel life. as wel as if you have any experience growing shrimps or crabs on the bottom of the beds as additional cleaners can they damage the liner mechanicly. Al and al it raises alot of questions. So can you make a video on the topic or at least point me in the right direction please. There is realy verry litle information on the net about it so please share your cnoledge.

what kind of material did you use plantaion tank ( i mean about polythen material)

Very beneficial video, subbed. I wanted to get Your advice on this, I got into fish keeping as a hobby and now I want to pursue a career in Agribusiness, what's Your thoughts?

awesome video. where did u buy the roll liner?

What do you think about the idea of using marine varnish or some kind of paint to seal these? I worry about holes in pond liner.

Where did you get your liner how thick is it

Hi, I would like to ask what type of wood you used. Can we use pressure treated wood? How about termite protection? Thanks

Great video!! What liner material are you using?

May I ask, are styrofoam rafts safe for DWC?

I'm pretty keen on using this design but it would need to be elevated at least 3 foot as my sump isn't buried.

DO YOU CHANGE THE WATER OUT COMPLETELY AFTER EACH HARVEST ?

Awesome video, Great info but Crikey Mate, for a hard working bloke you sure have nice hands. 5:35. 😂😉

New to this kind of farming, having issues with finding the liner 😢

Why did you attach two 2x4s for the frame instead of just getting a 4x4?

Where is a good place to get the rafts?

Hi. How do u auto control ph and ec?

Where do you buy your liner from?

The sides are 2x4... what's that in metric?

How are you plumbing the table

Got any other alternative for Styrofoam panels? Due to my local environmental policies they are sort of banned..

Deep water frame

Whats the biggest bed u can make?

Part 2 to built it.

How much does it cost ?

Hey is there a way to make contact with you?

Having used liners extensively for ~8 years, I can't recommend them. Fiberglass is WAY more repairable and user friendly. If your liner rips (and it WILL rip), that's it, it's done. You can try to patch it, but because of the biological activity in your system, the patch is VERY unlikely to hold. Fiberglass can simply be repaired. It's much easier and lasts MUCH longer.

Can i have the link for the styrofoam raft pls

It would be helpful if you tell us the suppliers that sell liners. I would guess these would be commercial roof suppliers, but who are they? How about a spray on solution like these; Krylon K02758007 Fusion All-In-One Spray Paint, Performix 11203 Plasti Dip Black Multi-Purpose Rubber Coating Aerosol, Drylok 27512 Latex Water Proofer

Why would you use all that lumber to rise it from ground when you could just use your concrete floor and only build walls?

I can see some pipe running inside the deep culture bed please talk small about that

Now do PVC board

Liners are too expensive

this is painful to watch. do you not know what 16 on center means? mean, on center, not on the left, or the right. on center. if you were building a house, you already failed inspection. also, a little tip, mark the 16 on center marks on boards from both sides at the same time. this make it uniform on both sides. mess up on measurement on one, it automatically transfers to the other. luckily you did it to all of them, so they all are the same distance. but i am certain you came into a lot of problems with construction on this but didnt show it.
