As in every Aquaponics video that I have watched I am always looking for advanced knowledge that is mostly missing in most of the videos. For example Failure modes of aquaponics and their remedies are at the top of why to watch list. Also any inspiration for design is always welcome. Also decoupled acuaponics is something very trendy atm and hardly any information about how to manage them.
Purchased a house with a tiled fish pond out the back, it was nice but was almost going to dig it out in to a pool. Since finding your channel I made a 4x2m bed that sits above the pond, my wife and I grow all sorts in there, it's great.
Thank you Sir!
The thing that moved me to aquaponics and hydroponics was the ability to more scientifically control all factors in growing. Knowing exactly what is in the growing medium and able to control it much easier as opposed to soil with the added benefit of quicker harvest times due to constant nutrient availability. As well as, maximizing grow space by growing vertically, something that isn't practical in soil.
My goal is to build a commercial aquaponics farm, not only to help provide food for the ever growing market but also to have workshops on site and possibly even a van with an integrated hydroponics system to showcase for schools, to educate the next generation of farmers for a more sustainable future.
I have been studying Aquaponics as a small business for several years, wanting to start a small greenhouse local Agra-business.
I am a “Prepper” at heart and I also believe this business would be Great if the
“Economy “ goes south or crash’s.
I want to build an “off grid” fully self-contained / heated year round greenhouse business, including using heirloom seeds/plants, harvesting my own seeds etc.
I like your content!!!
Keep up the great work!!!
Some suggestions might be...
Commercial Vertical growing?
Solar panels powering water heaters in IBC totes around the perimeter walls thermally sound?
Geo-thermal heating on the cheap?
Solar panels / batteries for extra after sunset led lighting?
Thermal blanket greenhouse systems for better thermal insulation in winter?
Bulk Heirloom Seed Storage, sound idea or a waste? 1 Year or even 2 year bulk supply?
Greenhouse security?
Keep up the Great Content!!!
I watch yours because you have a bunch of knowledge and I want to learn as much as I can. I've been farming with aquaponics for about 2 years now. I live in New Mexico and water isn't abundant here so I wanna show how to still be able to farm here. My dream is to open a commercial one here.
I want to be self sufficient and grow my own food. I'd be open to selling some at a farmers market but it is really about knowing what I'm eating. I've started with a small hydroponics setup and I'm slowly growing the equipment with the hope of converting to aquaponics at some point soon.
I would like to know about the different plants and there life cycle seedling time to harvest time and which crop plants take less time to harvest . Thanks
I would like to start my own farm. I look here for the how to and also for your recommendations and designs.
I live in Ontario, Canada and I am finding it difficult to source all of the materials I need to build my first aquaponics system. I enjoy watching your videos because you are not about gimmicks, just quality information. Saying that, any direction you could give me to source components that I am having difficulty finding would be so appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Would love to see more alternative fish feed . Trouble shooting pipe work in aquaponics systems. Heating and cooling greenhouse. And any other problems you might get like mould or mildew
Thanks for asking, alot of what we need is just being inspired, watching your videos does inspire us . Thank you !
Awesome, thanks for watching
Since the start of the Chinese flu i have been concerned about the economy, am thinking that things are about to slip into a depression.
And now with war looming even more so.
Food production is very valuable we need to survive.
Thanks for your help.
In a couple of years I want to start growing for home production, and maybe eventually move into small-scale commercial. I'm looking at raft systems, experimenting with different fish breeds and possibly crustaceans. Initially, the plants will be focused on what we eat most at home.
I am new to aquaponics and your videos have been very informative, straightforward and the pasion really shines through in what you do. I am excited to get started and really appreciate this channel
AQUAPONICS TOMATOES , MARKETING ON THE INDUSTRY, ANOTHER CROPS that needs to bloom (PK suplementation on aquaponics), vertical aquaponics, go crazy in that channel with all aquaponics please
you inspired me to start an aquaponics project , keep on that bro Salutes from Mexico ,
Aquaponics is the future for food production.
I forgot to add.. what I would like to see more of is your addition of other nutrients added to the system to combat the usual imbalances in aquaponics. Which nutrients are better for foliar application as opposed to adding to the reservoir. Nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus and micronutrients like iron, zinc, calcium, etc.
Time lapses of different plants to explain growing cycles could also be easy content to make. Just an idea.
Would be great to get some information on how to grade fish sizes and how to calculate and when to increase the feed amount (from fingering to harvest).
I have been doing organic farming for 40 years in an open field and have realized that with climate change this traditional method is in danger of extinction. I can no longer rely on rainfall to supply water, extreme temperatures both ways messing with the timing of planting and plant growth. So two years ago started to get into aquaponics and need to know much yet. Since I have moved to the city recently, I need to learn more about how to make it commercially viable in an urban setting to bring healthy veggies to city folk. I want to know more about how to utilize IoT technology and solar to run a system that does't rely on backbreaking work or utility companies supplying energy.
I watch the channel because I want to build my commercial aquaponics farm, however I want to show the people that we can produce food without harming the ecosystem, and show that we can compite with traditional farming.
I like the information in your videos and planning to build a small commercial system your info has been most helpful and enlightening
Keep up the good work you are doing
i had a 600m2 aquaponics greenhouse. it failed as a business but I am going to do it again and your content so far on youtube tops the others
I want to start an aquaponic system first for myself and sustainable HEALTHY food choices. I plan on selling at a very discounted price to food desert community in Alabama as we as some restaurants. I really appreciate your videos. I would love a step by step how to, set up a home system in a backyard etc. Hope that makes sense. Keep up the amazing videos please.
I a new to Hydroponics and have a small NFT system on my basement for lettuce and herbs. I also plan to have a few Dutch buckets for tomatoes, cucumbers & peppers. I really could use more info on what nutrients I need for these systems at different stages. Especially during propagation prior to placing the seedlings in their respective systems.
Love your content. I started watching your channel because I'm looking at starting a small hydroponics system in my basement to try to be more self sustaining, especially with increased food costs and inflation. I want to make sure it will be worth the cost, so I'm working on figuring out expenses and what all I need. We will probably be growing just a 2-5 types of vegetables or fruit
Having to move from soil to hydroponic, is simply more scientific for me. Keeping the ph balanced as well as the nutrients available to the plants can be difficult. I personally have a small hydro system and I love that the plants are growing at a faster pace. However, it’s much more difficult to keep everything in balance. Need your help. Water supply even though filtered from tap, has a high ph level. I checked with many hydroponic stores and they say it’s expected in the area to have 8.3 as normal…. Bringing that down is not too much of an issue it’s keeping it at 6.0 is my objective but is always within a few days drops to 4.5. So why is my hydro keep dropping its ph. Plants are tomatoes, peppers, eggplants with a few herbs. Hope this gives you some ideas and thanks.
An RO filter helps a ton
We purchased 20 acres of land in Northern VA farm country to build our dream house and start a high density Aquaponic / Hydroponic / Bioponic "farmette" as called in these parts. We are just starting to clear the land an build the fencing and gates. It is a lot of work. I want it to be my transition into retirement farm business. We will start with one 35x100 high tunnel for aquaponics and hydroponics (greens and fruiting plants), some outside bio-ponic wicking beds for large footprint plants (mostly for ourselves - Broccoli, root crops, etc.), seasonal field crops (sweet corn and pumpkins), and an apple and pear orchard. The farm will develop out in small manageable phases starting with aquaponics and hydroponics in the high tunnel and re-investing the profits to grow over time. We hope to use it as an income to ease the transition to retirement, provide niche market and mainstream high quality local grown food for restaurants, farmers markets, and eventually build an educational center in cooperation with our local 4H and agro-organizations).
Love this
Can you discuss your packaging and marketing of your produce? Do you sell any of the tilapia to local restaurants?
I believe aquaponics could help be sustainable food and some income on a very small scale in the backyard......especially now considering the food shortages
It's no where near boring. Something with multiple areas of study keeps it fun and interesting. I'd like to work for or start a worker's co-op in aquaponics. I needed something to help keep meaning in my life and something to work towards, but one step at a time. I currently work/volunteer at a couple of farms and my back is starting to hurt. lol
Some other issues in the back of my mind that I don't like to think about is aquaponics uses a lot less water, land, can be done in doors. (We might be able to do farming in abandon malls or buildings) And last but not least I'd like to see humanity build Vertical aquaponics skyscraper farms. I think that would be a really cool gem or societal goal to see accomplished. I think it might be hard, but not as hard as going to outer space, but can it be sustainable (or even farther) a closed loop system. There's an even bigger goal than that, but I can't wrap my head around it, its so big and complex. I like your videos so far. Well done. We' will see as a society where this aquaponics road takes us.
Hey I am currently founding a aquaponic company in germany on a commercial scale. Your videos are very helpful.
We have had an aquaponics system for 3 years and recently expanded our setup from a small basement system to a large greenhouse. I would like to see videos with things like troubleshooting why certain plants do well and others do not. For example, we have no trouble growing greens and tomatoes, but struggle to get cucumbers and beans past seedling stage. We successfully grew melons once, but now can't seem to get more going. What could we be doing wrong? I would also love to know where you source your containers for the produce you sell, how you label it, and how you market it.
Yes to all of this
I want to be independent. I don’t want to be dependent on anybody else. Food production would have to be a major part of that. However, to justify the amount of time in growing and maintaining a system to feed my family I might as well consider making it into a business.
Also the chemistry of how the whole thing works is interesting.
I only just come across your channel. I'm interested in Aquaponics. I will have up to 2000 plants if it's maxed out. We have had a slight delay as we decided to buy the house so had to save for that. We are currently working on Rain harvesting.
I am from Ghana. I am into aquaponics to produce healthy crops for my family and to make a little income out of it. I love your channel for its insightful content.
Thank you for commenting
I am wanting to start an aquaponics farm. Something commercial that I can start out with 3 or 4 grow beds and expand as time goes on.... I must say I really like your videos. I like to hear numbers as well as plant and Fish information.
I’m getting ready to build an Aquaponic system for personal use to begin with. So I’ve been reading and watching everything I can. Hopefully if I can get it to work maybe I’ll be able to help feed homeless veterans.
That’s awesome. How big?
I’m going to start with an IBC fish tank, 4 or 5 grow beds, and a sump. Vegetables will be Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers, Zucchini, Boc Choi, and different types of lettuce.
I’m trying to get into small scale aquaponics at home, and am trying to learn the basics
Setting up a starting business to test the market and to grow better food mostly to donate to soup kitchens and to sell at local farmers markets. In a couple of years might expand to a side business.
I wanna help my community. I want them to have healthy fresh food for everybody for a good price and a actually know there’s no pesticides or anything like that they’re eating.
Like to grow food, have gardened in years past much more than now. Retired and doing some garden, incorporating arch trellis this year maybe 40 feet long. For several years interested in aquaponics. Think it is better for many different but not all food products. Looking to eventually have a small deep water, media growing and strawberries on towers and also would like to try Eathen beds for tomatoes and cucumbers using lower and lean method. Hope to have small aquaponic system by middle of summer, simple deep water.
The price of a head of lettuce is insane where I live - often $4 or more... so I built a rail system in our basement to grow fresh leafy greens year round.
Nice!
Thank you so much for this Channel. I found really good information you share here. It really interesting to me as I am planning to set up my own system and thinking for business in the future. I like Aquaponic because it safe water, safe time and easy to grow products. I expecting to watch more videos from you. Thank you
Thanks, I encourage you to check out my online course if you are just starting it. Link is in my Instagram bio and my 2 recent videos
Just learning. Would like to get into this business in the future.
I think it would be a profitable business in my area! Thanks for asking
Cheesy as it may sound I want to change my family's stars man. Grandpa worked the railroad and my dad is an iron worker. I come from working men. Regular (decent paying) jobs. I'd like be able to build something I can give to my children more then money or a trade. Something that they could survive on. I want to pass on a life style/belief system. Something their hard work isn't jus rewarded with money but actual fulfillment and satisfaction. Work that feels important (IS important) and last. I believe this farm I'm starting is that.
Love this
Hi, I have watch many of your content and I am planning to start both fields, Aquaponics and Hydrophonics. I plan to start low but it it has potentials I want to go big as well.
Here are my questions so far after watching many contents from you.
1. Greenhouse environment. Is this a deal breaker? In our location during summer it can reach more than 38deg C. Low being 23 and high being 38. Do I need to put AC in the green house in this kind of environment?
2. Do you have problem with water evaporation too much? I saw one video from other channel where they said it is not profitable for them because of the water evaporation.
3. What is your electric consumption in kWH in your green house and what machines are running 24/7?
4. What is your Water consumption?
Thanks
Watch the videos as I've been doing aquaponics for 5 years and have studied aquaculture, but mainly want to know how a small/medium sized aquaponics business is operated and run
i watch for the hydro tomatos and hydroponics
I would like to be off the grid and grow my own for my family. I’m still learning about hydroponics and just subscribed 😉 I’m also reading about greenhouse, not sure if it’s a must for hydro.
I love the taste of fish and the health benefits of fish as a protein source. I am also a great eater of salads and I have been studying aquaponics for years because it seems like a very productive way to grow your own food.
Love it
The thing that has always stopped my from starting an aquaponic system on my own is the weather and the ground temperature here in Michigan is so cold I would have a big electric bill in the winter. My idea for fish was to grow tilapia and Australian Red Claw. The Red Claws are a fresh water lobster because of their size. But they all need 70+ water temperature and where I live we have a ground water temp of 55. @@NewAgrarian
I would like to know 3 points: food feed, which fish is the best for aquaponic and the density of each type of fish /m2. The food fish will be the most important on commercial aquaponic, it decides the profit and the quality of fish and vegetables. Thank you.
Aquaponics is truly the future of Farming. Why grow in a square foot when you can grow in cubic feet vertically. We all need to do our part to help conserve water, and there is no better way than Aquaponics and Hydroponics. Keep the Great content coming. You may do a video on Bell Siphons does and don’ts. Flood and drain and Venturi air applications.
You got it, I actually did a bell siphon video a while back. No Venturi but talked about the bell siphon
I am learning a new way to garden for my family.
Very expensive for fresh veggies.
What type of vegetable would a home grower be able to grow?
Are you able to do stuff like peppers or cucumbers? If you hade the space could you grow squash?
I don't know the right term, but I can't seem to find much information on how to keep the fish population balanced and in turn keep the input into the nitrification system consistent.
I prefer aquaponic , thank for your channel
No problem, why do you like aquaponics?
because difficult to buy chemical for hydroponic in myanmar and long run is low cost what i think ture or not ?
I'm planning to build a HOME aquaponics system for my family .
Im not sure I have the time to write it all up, but please hear me out...
1) grow food for my family
2) control and knowledge of said food for my family
3) 1+2 for my surrounding area
I want to do aquaponics but I want enough to make it worth it. I dont believe doing scale for my family is going to be profitable....as much asn "while im maintaining, I can be making a living."
I need to learn what I am actually doing it for.
How to make things,see setups, etc.. what to watch out for. What to assure, how to ensure good build, system, etc.
I would like to knoe actual time involved, realistically. Not just "a bit of time on the weekend to build this contraption."
I would lithe to know the business side of how to reach or and market.. just give restaurants your info? Idk....
I'm breaking down from my career and manual labor won't suit me forever. I also want time with my family. I really can't stand not being around them...while i slave in peoples homes fixing them... lol
I hear you man ..
Aquaponics feeds!!!!😊
well I wanna raise channel catfish because i love the taste of cat fish and at the same time have a amazing garden. once the wife and i get our own place we plan on being able to breed them too.
I saw lady on another channel, can't remember now, but she had catfish in a blue barrel. So it is doable in a small amount of space.
@@tpartisupporter oh i know its doable. its just not allowed where i live plus it gets super cold up here mate
How do you manage the flow rates to and from the fish tank without a sump tank ?
I am more interested in the technology to monitoring such systems
I'm trying to build a new tech farm that uses aquaponics, hyrdoponics and naturally filters the water with fresh water oysters and plan to use local fish like crappie,blue,catfish but would love to speak to you and exchange ideas 💡 I think we have alot in common
I would love to start a small aquaponic and hydroponic business i am going to retire in a couple of years and would love to have something up and running by then
Here is my story: I have software and controls experience but changed jobs where I do not see as much on the controls side. I began playing around with microcontrollers and IOT devices and somehow stumbled on hydroponics and fell in love. I use my microcontrollers for automating lighting and heating and feed cycles. I do have an important question. I really enjoy your videos and believe you are an excellent presenter and very knowledgeable. I like top feed but was unsuccessful with the emitters mist likely because of the pump pressure and sizing. I ended up with just 1/4" tubung and small 1/4 ball valves to limit and balance the flow. Can you please recommend a good bill of materiel on pump size, tubing, and the sticks you have that insert into the per lite? I am figuring about a 3 ft lift from storage feed to the bato bucket and about 6 buckets within a 10 foot distance. Thank you so much,
Everyone should learn how to grow food and fish and live stock. It was done for thousands of years.The last 200 years have had great achievements for all of us but we don't know how to live off of the grid now. Learn how to grow your own food. ( Talking to myself also) You don't need electric pumps. run the pumps by hand. Sounds like a new u-tube Channel .P.S. THANKS
run them by hand? how do you do that?
I actually struggle with how many fish i must get with how much plants. I have a 2500litre tank, and 2 growbeds with rafts. I'll have space for about 36 plants for now. Now i have read they say it's about 2 plants per fish, but i struggle to find any information for dwc raft systems, regarding volume, fish and plant correlations
I want to grow my own food off-grid
I am from South Afrca and I am experimenting with aquaponics. I installed a uv light bio filter in my system. Is it good to have a uv light. In the system for the plants as feedback I am receiving is very confusing .
We built a 1200 gallon decorative koi pond in our backyard during the early COVID days. We really enjoy tinkering with it and aquaponics has been a new frontier for that. We've added a 20 foot spiral nft and also an 8x4 flood and drain to the pond and so far the plants are loving it; orchids, aquatic plants and vegetables. I think alot of your advice and techniques can be tacked onto ornamental ponds.thanks for your advice.
How many fish (tilapia) i can put in 7000liter tank. Thanks in advance.
You probably don't do anything with shrimp. Thinking about doing them.. But I also have over 50 years of fresh water and marine fish experience Plus I know how to get fish to grow 5 to 6 inches a month! A lake bluegill does 5" a month and can get to 18" in diameter from top to down and end to end in one year! That is just body measurements no fins or tails in the 18" fish, the girth goes to like 4" wide!! Hybrids bluegills!~? I do not know how big they would get but they would have to be gigantic in size Like almost twice the size of the lake bluegills!!
Yes The fish grow massively big and powerful and healthy no getting sick~ With some rain water added and my food formula, that I can get in bulk.. You can get any fish to reproduce in captivity,
I believe..
Bass & Walleyes do 6" a month. Them things turn into beasts of power! powerful monster fish that trash glass tanks!! They grow so fast you would want to do them in shipping containers
Because They can get scary nuts on you, and yes you still want to toss in minnows of live fish, for them fish eaters! I live in Wisconsin and we can buy them fish small and get it to work.
Big food fish around here with Walleyes, Perch and Bluegills to the fryers
Even most saltwater fish~ Some might need shipping containers to do it, in but Yes I believe I can get them to reproduce in the tanks also.. & it is all good to go!
I believe there is only three people on the planet that know what I know, and I am the only one that knows why it works~
Yes I have the Natural Hardness Minerals all figured out like no other~ I was thinking of doing BlackWater fish raising of lots of stuff! Even fishing minnows in shipping containers!
Also Cat fish & goldfish I think I can get 7 inches a month.. Fish grow really fast in the first year of their lives and slow way down after that, but will still keep on growing~slow..
Hit me up^ with on a comment, on here And it will go to my email so we can get to know each other better~ I would like that! I want to know more about the plants to grow if you have a few more of the best! ~? I seen you had some flowers there too!
I have a friend that is trying to get me a building.. He is an Architect and knows a lot of people.. Like that have buildings just sitting around! I want to have some fun~
I’m a sub, because I’m designing a grey water purification system. Looking for info more for the long term uptake of phosphorus by plants in an aquaponics and hydroponics system
I am new to Aquaponics and looking to build my first setup in the next year or so. I appreciate the creativity of aquaponics and how it seems there is a plethora of ways to achieve the same outcome, I’m interested in some of the core concepts and components and what makes it work. Not really looking for direct instructions to follow step by step. Your fish video was great but was lacking some visuals like a comparison bar graph showing the water temp compatibility. Stuff like that. Looking forward to learning more. I like this channel specifically cause I feel it has better production value. We’ll lit, mostly easy to hear and you speak clearly.
Very good feedback. Thank you.. be looking out for those fish numbers you asked for
I want information about super male tilapia its pros and cons and how to produce I hope you will reply
I want to build a commercial system in Senegal that affordable but yet generates substantial profits.
I’m originally from Eritrea, a country with max 2 months rain and it’s the main sours of 90% agriculture based population! This season the rain hasn’t start on time for seeding and people are worried and praying for rain ! I’m a Registered nurse and been on criss response the whole pandemic and got to help people ! I believe I can learn and open a facility in Eritrean and use that to teach others too ! I would love to learn the business aspect of it as well and would like to open a commercial facility one days ! So I appreciate all that you do and if you do have courses or classes , I’ll register to learn !
I’m in the planning process of a scalable aquaponics build. My goal is to build it as proof of concept to obtain funding that will enable me to create a community aquaponics farm to help feed the homeless and low income families. Your content is proving to be very useful in pushing me along towards my success.
I love that.. good luck
Good day sir. I'm project manager at our NGO community garden and we have made a massive difference in malnutrition in our neighborhood. Thanks for your channel as it has helped me improve my systems and knowledge on Aquaponics. Your videos are amazing. Keep it up!
Love to hear that. Thanks for watching
Well I’m kinda forced to or else I fail Aquaponics class
