Building The ULTIMATE DIY Backyard Aquaponic System - Ep 2 Growbeds

In today's video, I'm building and planting out our NEW Aquaponic Growbeds in our back yard in the NSW Riverina!
If you're interested in Aquaponics, Aquaculture, Australian Homesteading and Self Sufficiency, you've come to the right place!
After a brief introduction, I start by moving a tank stand, the sump and new growbeds into place, then moving onto plumbing up the beds and bell siphons before finally filling the beds with media and planting them out with some seedlings.
Bell Siphon parts list
Shroud:
90mm Stormwater PVC Pipe (cut to desired length)
2x 90mm Stormwater Caps
Bell:
65mm Stormwater PVC Pipe (cut to desired length)
1x 65mm Stormwater Cap
Stand-pipe:
20mm Pressure PVC Pipe (cut to desired length)
2x 20mm to 25mm PVC Bush
1x 25mm to 40mm PVC Bush
1x 25mm PVC to 25mm BSP Fitting
1x 25mm Bulkhead (Tank Outlet) Fitting with gaskets
Pipe size conversion
20mm ~ 3/4"
25mm ~ 1"
32mm ~ 1 1/4"
40mm ~ 1 1/2"
50mm ~ 2 "
65mm ~ 2 1/2"
90mm ~ 3"

Keep up the good work mate

[@cornerofcurls]

Cheers mate 👍

[@onokirust]

Your never did a hole inspection of the crater your dog was digging😂 looking forward to seeing more!

[@cornerofcurls]

I took the camera over at the end but as soon as I hit record, he stopped digging 🤣🤷‍♂️

It's all good if the sprogs fade fast, it's exposure to the skills that matters at that age. Otherwise mate, great tutorial, each video adding to the knowledge needed. I've always been interested in aquaponics but haven't tried it because it seems easy to bugger up, so I appreciate the vids

[@cornerofcurls]

@@TheAbeKane glad you're enjoying them mate - I'm aiming to do a couple of info vids on smaller systems at some stage (probably not until next year) - keep an eye out. I think these will be good as they're probably easier to scale up than scale down 👍
