- Join Mike to view his first aquaponics system. Follow Mike as he grows with his system and learns the ups and downs of aquaponics. Mike will be providing regular updates so you can see how his system is doing in the heat of sunny Florida.
Great system Mike, after your system cycles and matures I am sure you will be amazed how quickly everything grows in an aquaponic system.
Tons of information! I've had to watch about 30 other videos to get all of the information that I could have gotten if I'd watched this one right away. Thank you, and Good Job!
Appreciate video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (just google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin after many years got amazing success with it.
I found a great collection of videos that will help on Fast Track Grower
Very nice video Mike. You did a great job of explaining how things work. I just set up my system about a month ago. I hope you have great success.
Mike Davis
Nice set up! you should also incorporate a swirl filter of some kind to help collect the excess fish poop. Your plants will love what is collected in the bottom of the swirl filter.
Nice setup! the only recommendation I would add is to change the flow of the water from the fish tank to run straight to the grow bed, that way the polluted water is not pump back to the fish. Research how to build a flow filter and a bio filter this two components can add extra benefits to your system and can be easily added by cutting and adapting to your currant pvc pipes.
This is a standard CHOP2 design.
I second this recommendation. Your SLO should go straight into your grow beds which are filtering the water and then the cleaned water is returned to the sump and then pump the cleaned water in the sump into your fish tank. The fish need clean water, not half clean half dirty water being pumped back into their tank.
You are very smart and creative
i love watching people create there own project, getting some input & ideas how to make the aquaponics works with the used of water gravity, spread the filtered fish water waste going towards the plants collecting all fish poop & used them as a fertilizer on a big trees using compost,. thanks for sharing your video Mike & hope you will be succesful in your project, i saw your project so beautiful, looks like a master plan,. have you ever think about putting a shade in your project to cut down on sun heat,.?? just asking,. about the rain water collection how does that thing works,. good job.
Great looking system! I would suggest moving the tomatoe plants in bed 1 and bed 2 a little further away from your siphon drain, you don't want the roots growing into the drain and hampering the water flow :)
I've been wanting to create a rain barrel and I've also had to deal with chlorimine. You have a great solution!!! ty
clear description and very interesting - thanx
Hi Mike.
Good info.
Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering how the fish tank siphon works ?
(the central pipe which removes fish poop !)
Thanks

I’m just learning about aquaponics but I can say with certainty and experience that the types of plants planted here are too close and needed way more space to develop. I’m sure he figured that out. A great resource to know how to plant companions (plants that help each other vs compete) and leave enough space between them is Old Farmer’s Almanac. They have an online tool to help you create your layout. I use it every year.
Very good job on the system. I see your using the what I like to call "Fish Tank Over Growbeds" system, where the fish tank is above the height of the growbeds. It works well, just needs a bit more work. I have mine the opposite, where the growbeds are above the fishtank and allows me to have a Flood and Drain type of system. The only thing you need to fix is how close you plant and how many plants you put in the system. Funny how you did the same mistake I did when I started. Many of the plants you have planted will grow way bigger than you think. The corn and tomatoes will be huge. The cantaloupes will tangle over each other that close. Roots will start to clog your drain pipes. Trust me on that one. You will eventually see how they grow and space them accordingly. Other than that, good job.
He's got Bell syphons. This is a flood and drain system.
Hope you post some new videos again Mike think you do an amazing job.
Best to test your rain water for heavy metals too, so I have been told Mike, great video too :)
Nice system all k would recommend is a swirl filter after your fish tank and between your sump bro
Awesome video thanks for the information
You have a really nice Aquaponics system there.
You did a great job showing off your system. I would have thrown some gold fish or something in there to jump start your bio bed. Your SLOW pipe could pump into a swirl filter system which will keep your water cleaner. Also David Reed is correct, animal and fish are different than us but still, there is fiberglass in the water that your special first flush system won't catch. Then the fish breath it in then you eat the fish. Now if you have a medal roof, not so much to worry. I'd like to see an up date on your system after all this time. Thanks for sharing.
any filters or methods to get the fiberglass out of the water. i want to collect rain water but i have fiberglass shingles also
Wow, that is so cool. Great job, I wish that were in my backyard! Best wishes :-)
I was thinking "what does he do in the winter?" and then I read you intro about living in Florida. I am guessing that it would be impossible to do a system like this in WA state unless it was indoors or in a green house that was heated.
Building a system kind of like this now. Got it going already but I am getting steps on video:) New sub here bro! God Bless!
Great Vid, cant wait to build my own! Thanks for the info, especially on the syphon!
I am just venturing into starting my adventures in aquaponics
Hey great system love the draining system you have. I'm building for the first time and would like to copy your idea. Get back to me and happy farming!
I am watching the mint and keeping it cut back. I learned about that but wanted to plant it so... I went ahead and did.
Very good detail on the video i really like it. We have a 44,000 gallons swimming pool that i am planning to turn into a pond tired of cleaning it and only swim once a year. Do you have any ideal on how i should get started. We lived in Northwest Mesa, Arizona. I wish we have some help
Brilliant Mike
How is the water going in your vegetable bed? How many times have you used a water pump?
Great video, I'm doing the same thing after tax season this year.
everyone shows their setups, i don't seem the results. these systems cost a lot of $$. i am trying to figure out whether or not the production = hype.
It's all about consistency. Are you consistent? If you are then go for it.
Where is the solid waste filter? The bottom of the sump tank, or the bottom of your grow beds will trap it. If it's in the grow beds you will develop pockets of anaerobic activity after a few years
Nice system. What are you planning to feed the fish with?
Awesome system set up. I love the rain water setup. where did you get your tanks from?
Hey Mike, this is an awesome system. Looks clean! I was just wondering if the noise of the water draining constantly has ever bothered your neighbors or yourself at all. Also wondering if you're using anything to heat the water for the Talapia? I saw a couple videos mention they like water temps of about 80 F. Thanks for sharing!
RUclips has lots of great videos on aquaponics.
Facebook has some great discussion groups.
Mike,
You say on your rain tank that a Ball that plugs the tube. What is to keep the dirt from going into your tank once the ball is activated?
Thanks,
That is really nice setup really smart idea i be making my own but are those rocks can i use any tipe
+Pablo Munoz You can use wood chips, mulch, pee gravels, and coconut mulch too
Great system, thank you!! btw.....how much did it cost you to set this system up? and do you have any maintenance costs? Thanks!
Mike, I want to build a similar system. Do you have a layout and parts list or where did you go to put together a system like this. Thanks,
Getting ready to buy my fish by Thursday
Great Video Mike. I'm about ready to build a similar system but also incorporating the waste water from my reef tanks RO filter system. Do you have any issues with mosquitoes?
Overall, nice set up.
The mint will take over- Plant it in your yard instead.
The cantaloupe plants will grow BIG and sprawl, even if they are a bush variety. For that size grow bed, 3 at most, and there most likely won't be room for anything else.
Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong
You may find you will have to put in more grow beds or lower the amount of fish. Fish poop a lot. Or clean and dump some of the fish waist.
great system man!
Thanks for the comments guys!!
It looks like there must be a electric pump running full time
What's the annual cost of electricity . ??? It looks like it's going to cost more then the food you producing ???
A good first system. :-)
Mint will take over unless you fight it.
Do you have a "media guard" round all your bell syphons to make them easier to look after?
I am concerned that you will fill your grow beds with fish poop. This will go anaerobic and this is not going to be nice.
Rock is cheap, but heavy and hard to work with.
A slot on the bottom of your bell will allow more flow than holes, and will clog less easily.
Do you have enough aeration?
Well done, but you will end up adding to it... ;-)
Hy, can u tell what tipe of nutrients do you use for the plants?
This is actually called a Chift Pist. I would like to circulate only clean water but it does not work with my design, I wanted to have a place for my kids to stand and look at the fish, it just did not work out that way. Believe me, I went back and forth on this but we had already dug the hole in the ground.
good video
There are a few components to types of aquaponics . One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Fast track grower (google it if you're interested) it's the most incredible resource i've seen. look at the amazing info .
I've down on paper the step-by-step Do it yourself aquaponics plan that every novice can simply follow.
In addition, it included helpful information for the professional, you could get more info right here:
great7.net/diy-aquaponics-system
Great system, how much does a system of this size cost?
Why is the water in the fish tank so filthy if there are not fish in there at the time this was filled? You using dirt for a grow media???
very nice^^
Yeah, you arre right
awesome
GANHOU UM INSCRITO E MEU LIKE #AQUAPONIALRV
How much would you charge to help me build some pipe fitting.
Depending on the type of salt compounds you use, it might not be considered organic
How much does the ph swing? Being outside.
Hey Mike, could you please show us how you built the SLO pipe in your fish tank? I want to use the same system for my set-up, but can't seem to find any info on youtube. Thanks bud, God bless.
What else is good is that your dishes are afraid of the sun.
So I guess the water from the sump goes back to the tank?
Do you have an update of this system?
Hi Mike, Can you tell me where you were able to find the 275 gallon tanks
Those are called IBC totes. You can often find them on craigslist. Try to find ones that had some type of inert substance or food product in them so they should be safe to use for the system, but I would still recommend a serious cleaning before using them anyway. Depending on location and time of year, they can range from $35 (which I paid recently, a company was trying to get rid of them quickly), to $100-$150. For ease of use, get the ones with a ball valve on the bottom not the butterfly valve. The butterfly valves will leak over time. They also make bigger ones that are 350 gallons I think. Rough dimensions of the 275 gallons totes is 4'x3'4"x4' - WxDxH. They weigh around 100 lbs-ish.
How did the tomatoes do in that system? Tomatoes do not like "wet feet."
+alan30189, this system he has a "Flood and Drain" system. Tomato plants do really good in it because the roots are not always in water do to the system flooding and draining. It basically compensates for the tomato plan's need to not have wet feet.
How is your Ph doing with this gravel ? :0)
What is a wicking bed. have not heard of it?
I do not think that you have enough capacity for your first flush system. A roof has a lot of area to wash off ! I would dump the first flush into at least a 55 gallon drum. Otherwise I like your ball valve system.
Donald Miller I found a calculator for that and I run it for my shop roof which is a 75x100 building and for each quarter of the roof I only needed 2 - 10ft 6" pipes for the first flush. What he has seems sufficient.
Can you grow zucchini in a growbed?
I feel you have a serious design flaw in your system that can be corrected. Why would you be sending dirty fish water back to your fish? It should be going directly from your fish tank(s) to your grow beds and after the grow beds have cleansed it it then goes to your sump. Another advantage is that your pond pump in the sump only has to pump clear water which should at least quadruple the pump life as opposed to pumping solids. Let's subscribe to one another: Smoky Mtn. Aquaponics (fiskfarm)
Someone who hasn't done aquaponics before (like me) can understand
The great news is you may create your own aquaphonics system though you have no idea about building aquaphonics before.
Just by using detailed blueprint plus grows plants twice as fast in aquaphonics system, learn more here:
livebetter4.com/aquaphonics-building-easily
does the pump go 24/7 ?
Sadly we have to add Fe3+ and see weed extract ..:( that means you can better do hydroponic..
I like some of your ideas, but I'm sure you've found that there are some mistakes: 1. Obviously, you should have washed your gravel first. Alternatively, it appears that crushed lava rock (basically pumice) is the cheapest clean media...less than vermiculite, Perlite or Hydroton...while still being fairly light with lots of surface area; 2. Keeping worms in the grow beds is impractical. The flooding will kill them and it will be impossible to keep the water clean. You should have a solid filter and worm bed where the solids can be placed. 3. Growing corn hydroponically is a waste. You might get 3 ears per plant. Growing melons, unless you can get them to go up a trellis, will take up a huge amount of space. Better to grow them outside and use some of your nutrient rich water to feed them periodically. 4. The amount of chemicals that plants need will not kill fish. Chemicals are chemicals...the "organic mindset", that, somehow, nitrogen from fish-shit is less toxic than nitrates from fertilizer, is baloney. And, you will find that potassium and phosphorus, needed by plants, will be in short supply from fish waste. Like it or not, some P & K will have to be added to the system.
I hope these comments help.
Olen Soifer, I am sorry to tell you that are mistaken, the worms will not drown as long as there is enough oxygen in the water. I have had an aquaponic system for over 3 years and I have lots of worms in my system. Your statement, " The amount of chemicals that plants need will not kill fish. Chemicals are chemicals...the "organic mindset", that, somehow, nitrogen from fish-shit is less toxic than nitrates from fertilizer, is baloney" is completely WRONG. Why do you think there are dead zones around the world? There have been many studies that show how harmful synthetic fertilizer due to run off and that it harms aquatic life.
www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=oceanic-dead-zones-spread . Also Mike will not need to add P&K the only thing that will need to be added is iron. Fish waste is organic and defiantly less toxic than petroleum-based synthetic fertilizer- it is toxic to aquatic life it is also toxic to worms and other micro-organisms. Do some research before you try to correct someone....
The one statement you are correct about is corn, it grows much better in the soil. However, most vegetables are harvested much more quickly in mature cycled aquaponics system compared to traditional soil garden.
Give aquya hidrow fonic water re cicleen drowning,if you give aquya hidrow fonic water re cicleen drowning, we make this system.thank you.
You need to eliminate those air pumps and stones.....
Hydroponics uses Chemicals to grow food, Aquaponics is simply natural, better than organic.
grt rid of the mint buddy, it will take over everything
fish to water ratio? 100? not happening
