Getting ready to build my second and larger system. My first was a backyard 400sqft greenhouse and had a 275gal fish tank, bioflitration system, swirl filter, deep water culture and nft set up. My next build will be a 20x60' with 2 275gal tanks each going into a swirl tank, then bioflitration but one side will be deep water culture and the other will be Dutch bucket. The Dutch bucket will produce vegetables and I'll be able to control the nutrients according to their requirements. The other will be growing leafy greens like lettuce and kale. I plan on having one fish tank with tilapia and the other koi. I'll eat the tilapia and sell the koi. Can't wait to get started!!!
Hey buddy good luck with ur system and i wish all the best... I my self about to start my first commercial system and i really need help.. Please if u can guide me and provide me with tips till i Stand on my feet i would be so grateful to u for the rest of my life.. Since its my first project... And ur effort wont be for free ofc .. Please if u read this help me 🙏
@@ASTRO-ri6ex check out the school of aquaponics you tube channel. Brooklyn is the master at it and I learned a great deal of information from just watching his channel. He also has a book with great information too. Let me know if this helps. Just trying to lead you to the real master!!!
@@neckbone3943 heyy man... Yeah i watched most if his videos hhhh and how no to be a biscuit headed grower.. But doing a commercial system on my own is another story and i would love someone to talk to and share results with and also get tips and guidance till i get this done.. Hope u get what i mean
@@ASTRO-ri6ex ok, in good with that but I'm far from a pro. With my next system, I'm sure I'll be going through some trial and error myself. Whatever I can do to help, I will.
I finally learned the difference between hydroponics (plants grown in water) and aquaponics ( plants grown in water from fish tanks). I will definitely be doing some aquaponics here on Alkebulan Farm in Ghana
My background is not agriculture but when I am watching this video I learn something new here . Your video is so informative. Thank you for sharing this .
It would be a good plan to have some volunteer people to work together in support groups for helping residents with yards to instruct and basic training to set up small to medium systems for those who have the desire to do these!
There are several factors in studying aquaponics. One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible course i've seen. look at this unbelievable website.
High levels of dissolved oxygen promote healthy root growth. ... When there's less oxygen in the water than there is in the plant, this reduces the permeability of roots to water, therefore reducing (even reversing) the absorption of nutrients. Levels of 8 mg/l or higher are generally considered to be good for greenhouse production and much higher levels, as high as 30 mg/l or more, are achievable and can be beneficial. If the DO levels are below 4 mg/l, the water is hypoxic and becomes very detrimental, possibly fatal, to plants and animals. This is the basis of success to hydroponics, aquaponics. Also, water temperature will play a major difference in those DO levels. The dissolved oxygen rather than those nitrates. As plants will take up the essential nitrates needed through the growth cycles.
It is useful introduction. I am glad to learn this skills. Can you please share me how can we build biofilter and what batteries that digest or transform the NO3 to NO2+? and what can we produce this bacteria? thank you for your reply.
I am an agricultural student from India I am very much interested in hydrophonics aquaphonics and vertical farming which are the future of agriculture . But I don't know about how to begin these can somebody help is there any courses or internships i can do about it
It's already been three years since then. The days go by so quickly. The ``AQUA Ponicus'' that you taught me has been passed on to other non-developed countries so that everyone can eat safe food. Thank you, Lotte City Hotel. thank you. your homeland. yourkindness is grate. Akiko Kawachi Latin dancer and Kpop dance 2d3d cad operator Queen Aiko ,Akiko,Ayako and Mako line. thank you.
I have 6 month old system but still my plants are not growing well.what should I do ?I saw your water is brown.did u PSB or nitrifying bectetria your system?
Hi there, at the moment we do not have any guides or courses available for the business side of aquaponics. www.aquaponicsdesigncourse.com/ - this course may be of help though!
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover commercial aquaponics system plans pdf try Proutklarton Surviving Instruction Plan (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for building a proven aquaponics system without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 at last got amazing results with it.
nice informative & knowledgeable video but i got one question AS u stated that NITROSOMONOS bacteria exist in every dark place in AQUAPONICS NITROBACTOR u didn't mention where that exists ?? can u please throw some light on it origin n habitat too ??
Thanks Sunil! Both Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are classified as nitrifying bacteria, which are in turn both sensitive to light. Other factors like extreme temperature, pH and fluctuations thereof will also negatively influence the activity of the bacteria. Some research has indicated that the bacteria are more sensitive to light when they are suspended in the water, and become more tolerant once they have colonized an area. I have found an article explaining more about the effects of illumination on nitrifying bacteria if you would like to take a look: www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jgam1955/30/3/30_3_151/_pdf Hope this helped!
sir if it's okay, we use a open fish pond ether fish tank? because we have a natural spring water, it is our source of water we use in our area and lastly if its ok if we combined the fish and the plant in the same pond?
Soil provides grip ...and it holds the nutrients. In water we have to provide the grip for plants to not fall aside that's why cardboards are used. In Either cases we have to provide nutrients. In Outdoor lot of external factors like insects, bacteria from bird poop and whatnot...!! In indoor we control those things So fresh and healthy and tasty.
When you size the pump you need in your aquaponics system? Do you count the fish tank water only or does it need to include the water in dwc and sump tank?
Thanks for sharing this video. This is absolutely very useful for me who is studying at BYU-Idaho online majoring in agribusiness. I am also currently deepening the hydroponic system of growing vegetables and fruits. I wish I could combine them. I need to learn more from you. I have many questions for you. Do you have a video tutorial on hydroponic? Thanks a lot.
Hi there! Good luck with your studies. Yes we have a tutorial on hydroponics, you can find it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V0BrgBF9IQM.html
Is aquaponics system can work without water circulation or without water pumps, can aquaponics system work with plants above and fishes below with no water circulation? i've been thinking this for a while thank you i wish i can get an answer
i have a small pond at home i want to convert it to an aquaponic system. i understand that i need another container to grow my plants. i just want to understand how long does the water from the fish pond that is transferred to the plant container need to stay in the plant system before flushing it back to the fish pond. my concern is if its just flowing through, the nitrate wont be fully absorb by the plants and it will just flow back into the fish pond.
The fish you use depend on the climate you live in and local/federal restrictions. they've been finding ways to grow almost every type of food bearing plant aquaponically, even if it's just watering traditional dirt-based plants with nitrogen rich fish water
Rounded river rock for the media, good weight for the plants, and I use goldfish in my AP gardens because they are crazy sturdy and aren't likely to die off while you learn the system. Best of luck, hope the meds help!
@@JTBear thanks for the help will tht hold the weight of the plants as they grow im gonna do a flood and drain in the media bed? Or shud I let the plants and roots just float ?
I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying that if I were going to grow a plant that heavy ... I would want at least 6 inches of river rock holding that down, an autoflowering variety and a few good friend that know how to trim ... :-) The best thing about AP gardening is that it can be changed around to fine tune it so that it will work for any type of plant, as long as you know the needs of the plant. That said, you might as well throw a tomato or two in there as well for some gardening snacks along the way! May an abundant garden ease your pain as mine eases my stresses, blessed be!
