  • G'Day Folks. In this Video we follow along a Complete Build of DIY of Aquaponics System in our back yard. Many parts were salvaged from an older system with a few new components being made fresh for this build. We set up the fish tank, create filters, plumb in the grow beds then plant them out.
    DON'T forget to check out the helpful video, playlist & site links mentioned in the video. All are listed in the description.👍Those videos & links will have more in-depth explanations on the filters, fittings & parts used.
    Hope you managed to get some inspiration & tips from the video.
    Cheers all & HAPPY GROWING. 🐟 🌱🍅

    Hi Bob, amazing videos, I have just got your online book, thank you. I work in a remote community of worker and I am going to build one very similar to to this build. There is about 8 of us and I believe it should supply enough greens for all of us, especially the Warragal green. I will put fish in the tanks but not sure yet what type, will probably start with carp to make sure I don't lose anything editable plus there are plenty of them down here. Will send a picture once I am finished.
    Cheers

    Hey Rob, loved your video and are planning to implement my own system now I have purchased and currently moving to a new property. Heads up your favourite sea side daisy is actually a weed and can be a nuisance in the bush setting. If you want an alternative, you could try paper daisies, which come in various different colours or even better check out what's native to your area. They bring in the pollinators and are great for planting around your vegie patches and fruit trees.

      It's best to shop around hydro stores mate. Most will price match so if you find a cheap bulk deal in Brissy see if a local store will match it. 😉
      Last time I bought it was $45 for a 45L bag of the Canna, about $40 if I bought 7 or more from a local place that shut down a few years back.
