Until recently I didn't know about aquaponics. Then wondered what's the difference from hydroponics now I know. Thanks the more I know
I mean...
Aquaponics is hydroponics with fish...
I just to make it clear. What's the primary goal of the aquaponic? The fish, by providing the organic filter system so you'll get healty fish? Or the plant, by providing alternative nutrient supply, and the fish as a bonus? In hydroponic you feed directly the plants, while in aquaponic you feed the fish. In term of income composition, which product gave you higher result then the other, assuming one set of fish and plants installation?
Your pretty spot on man. I have a small scale farm and run hydroponic towers and organic soil beds although my
Specialty is in aqua. Small scale diverse gardens where time and money are not an issue, aquaponics wins every time. I can leave my system for 2 weeks and have someone add water and it’s all good. However, sizing it to
A commercial scale makes things very complex as far as return water lines and very costly up front and to operate. Contrast that to flow to waste hydroponics, as you say it’s so easy. Cycle timers and pressure compensating drip emitters make running a hydro system a breeze. I use 8.8 gallons a day of nutrient solution for 44 towers with around 6 plants each.
I’ve done aqua for 8 years and hydro for 3 months. Hydro is superior on a commercial scale but I’ll always advocate aquaponics for gardens, not farms. Awesome points on the kids learning and the general interest in aquaponics 👏🏾
make aquaponics and charge visitors when they come to see 😋
I've been growing in soil for ever. I'm hoping to get some HYDROPONICS knowledge here thank you sir 👍 🍁 💚
love your videos. I just started buying my supplies and going to start small. I wanna do this to feed myself and grow my own clean food. be independent.
how is it so far?
Worst comparison I have ever watched. At first you say hydroponics is too easy. The last thing you said was, that once your aquaponic system works, you never need to change the nutrition concentration. So in your comparison it seems like aquaponics is easier. The only benefit of aquaponics, that you talk about is, that everybody loves it and everybody is more interested in it than in hydroponics. Thank you for your unbiased opinion. In a video like this you have to talk about facts. Like as you already said, because of the individual needs for nutrition of every plant, hydroponics is better suitable for monocultures. But where are the sources? Where did you get this information from? Is it basic knowledge? You should talk about the requirements. What do you need for hydroponics? What for aquaponics? Which technology needs more space and why and does this effect the efficiency of the system? What is about the effeciency? Which factors influence the efficiency? Which system costs more money? Which factors influence that? How much work is to do in each systems? What type of fish should be used in an aquaponic system and why? On what factors does this depend? Which combination of plants an fish should be used? Etc. Etc. (Sorry for my bad englisch, I'm from Germany)
“I am Hooked on Phonics”
i prefer to go with Aquaponic because of Hydroponics generate contaminant from applied chemical fertilizer
Hydro is watering a reservoir once a week. i get bored too.
I prefer Aquaponics because there are no chemical solutions involved in growing. I had tasted vegetables from supermarket, made in Hydroponics and the texture was harder. When you tried to bite you could fill the hardness of the Tomatoes. The Hydroponics do exagerate with chemicals and time of production. Those people do try to get as much money as possible in the shortest time.
Aquaponics Is art and love for work.
im sorry but this video is too biased. You are not looking at the bigger picture hydroponics is much more efficient at reserving water that aquaponics which is a hastle for third world countries but on the other hand aquaponics wins for aestetics
Kindly tell me 1 thing, how much nutrients need for hydroponic 1000 nft tomato plants for for seedlings to haverest period..aprx 3 to 4 months
Love your video !!!
How about the produce time? Does hydro makes fruit/vegetables grow faster or vice versa? I kinda wonder about it since i wanna make a big income from these
Hydro makes plants grow faster at a young age during the vegetation stage but the fruiting period is no faster than soil growing. Overall the time will be slightly shorter for hydro compared to soil.
one question,what should be the ratio of fish in the vertical grow tower?i guess in horizontal grow bed we need 1pound of fish for every sq ft but what when we use vertical grow tower?please help!
I like hydroponics better because you can have it in a smaller place and not spend money on fish food
Large mono is better for Hydro, but chemical free seems to be better for local
On the other hand, some people don't like the idea that their lettuce was grown with "fish poop" it may be ignorance, but there are some people out there that think that way.
That is very true.
don't tell them about all the other types of poop and piss their other foods are grown with then!
Just like the guy said, "People like what they like, regardless of it's harm or beneficial points.."
Video Account uh
And dogs poop on gardens
6:00 that's not technically true, the key difference between the two is the source of the nutrient inputs. If your fish feed has more of something than the plants use, eventually it will suffer the same issue as hydroponics. Personally I like them both. But the minimum size system for aquaponics is larger and more involved than a minimum size hydroponics system. I can make a hydroponics system out of 2x 5 gallon buckets and a water pump. An aquaponics system also needs an air stone and some fish :) Now that said, Ive never made either system that small. My smallest hydroponics system was about 100 sq ft of growing space. My smallest aquaponics system is smaller than that at 100 gallons, or 2' x 4' tank. My current system is almost 1000 gallons including rain collection , settling barrels, cook off barrels, storage tank, feeding tank. I don't count the growing area, because currently I just use the water to feed my soil grown plants. Tomorrow morning I am getting 300-400 fathead minnows and 100 catfish for the system, which will be expanding by another several thousand gallons over the coming year.
Thanks for the comment. Very informative. So do you think it is better to feed the fish water to the plants grown in soil? I was looking for an option like that for organic farming . But I realized that no one seems to be using this method
I've done both, with and without fish. Aquaponics was easier, as in, much less work. Aquaponics is more enjoyable. The best part is that if you do it right, you get the same quality and flavor of growing in soil. Hydro produce is tasteless in particular when you do fruiting plants like tomatoes or cannabis
what do you guys think of Aeroponics?
Aquaponics is Hydroponics. Hydroponics is growing plants in a nutrient solution. Aquaponics is just providing the nutrients in a different way by using fish.
thanks for demostrating the difference between the two
So it's not the same... lol
If I understand you correctly, _Aquaponics_ is a subset of _Hydroponics_
Very informative
I would like to send in an initial layout for my aquaponics system how do I go about doing this? I can't afford to waste material or time doing it the wrong way please help
Send your layout to the email: brooklyn@theschoolofaquaponics.com
The School of Aquaponics this got me thinking again, wouldn't running hydroponics water through an algae scrubber reset the nutrient balance & in aquaponics if you have a fish die off wouldn't incorporating bioponics help keep the system going till you restock? Grass clippings and scrap vegetable matter should allow cheap reuse of nutrient content and keep bacteria alive right?
yeah, you're right i love aquaponics. can you include bioponics, because i still have no clue on how this three plant system works?
Doesnt hydroponics require chemicals and Aquaponics use only the fish waste?
Yes, but aquaponics may use some checmical that are not in the fish waste
hi can you combine these two systems? and how do you go about this, to set up this system?
Hydroponics + Aquaponics = Aquaponics
lol what Salty said
... plus, with aquaponics you get high-quality animal proteins! :-D
A question on nutrients: of course we can't change the ratios of NPK and micros to tailor them to the plants, but we can try to change the water flow in NFT and vertical towers to try to adapt the quantity of delivered nutrients to the different kind of plants, I think. Any advice on how to calculate that starting from data on recommended NPK levels for a specific plant? TY!
Why did you fish die to begin with? So I can avoid that when I start my system
Are you saying hydroponic systems are so easy it's not even funny, or not even fun?
My wife and I have a bet, she says it's a common expression.
Great video! I'm interested in doing this for vegetables, maybe stick with hydro for ganja.
Enjoying your videos and information, thanks!
You’re more than welcome!
Can hydroponics work on fruit trees?
Yes, it works on fruit trees.
Turn up the volume.... it is really hard to hear you.
Turn up your volume? lol
the explanation is great with great illustration
isnt easier is better? we r talking abt mass production for commercial lvl here...
Aquaponics is the same meaning of hydroponics, your description about may be is Bioponics
Chemical free is awesome!
Hydroponics looks easier except for having to contact change the water and “not knowing why”
Hydroponics dump clean and replace nutrients weekly, or constantly strip water and add new nutrients to maintain the proper solution. Info on aquaponics wrong
great video.. God Bless
This guy seems like Rick (of Rick & Morty) talking. Great video.
I'm all about the vodaponics
I like this video and the way you speak. It is interesting and engaging.
Thanks for watching and showing support!
Hydroponics is better for space and sustainability
I found this video on Fast Track Grower - there's plenty more good videos there that should help out
Kinda hard to hear you. Maybe adjust your microphone?
"Hydroponics is 10 times easier than aquaponics" (1:05). "Hydroponics and aquaponics have the same nutritional output - neither has an advantage over the other." (4:00)
Quote mining and not understanding context is a sign of stupidity.
Great channel and video, should get a new mic though hahahaha
Thanks for tuning in!
The School of Aquaponics . One thing, Fish 🐟, and pellets ? Commercial grade pellets ? Right ? I’ve never done this but, i’d like to try. 😊
Little mistake? Bring THIER family? But great video!!!
Woooooooo!
marijuana tho..... 😂💃💯
#Aquaponics4life 😎
Horrible explanstion. Please b more objective. Thanks
