Hey this was a really nice video. I have made a few aquaponic systems and am thinking of a redesign. Your video gave me some help and some great ideas. Thank you.
Hi there !
I’m glad to hear that, good luck
I think this 12 minute video will change my life. Thank you.
Hi there ! Love your comment .. you’re welcome .❤️
I have no space to try this, living in a concrete jungle. one day though..
If you can leave Babylon…this could honestly become a little business for everyone along side feeding yourself with the food shortages to come. Remember Psalm 91:1
With the most high anything is possible. No fear. And peace and love to your hearts.
This vedio change my life also. Thanks for this vedio.
@Artur Arruda You could always do a small system inside using fish tanks and grow lights.
Relaxing and informative video. Thanks!
You’re welcome.
What a nice and concise video! I’ve been experimenting with aquaponics for about two years. The addition of iron and seaweed to the system is new information to me. That might explain why some things don’t taste quite as good as I would like, from my system. Thanks for the tip!
Welcome ❤️
The color of light you use also affects flavor. You’ll have to experiment with each plant to figure out what you like best. Keep records of your experiments!
@Ashurroth thanks dear .
Hi, your video has inspire me to have this Aquaponics project during MCO3.0. Thanks !
I have few Qs
1. for tilapia tank, is there a minimum tank size ?
2. Grow bed, any specific size and Height to best work with Bell Siphon ?
3. What is the Bell Siphon measurement vs the size (height) of the grow bed ?
4. can I cascade multiple Grow beds ? Parallel or Serial ?
Thanks for this great video !!!
Hi Albert thanks for watching.
1-In my opinion 50 gallon and above, you can use plastic barrels
Plastic Barrels A popular, low-cost option many early aquaponics gardeners have used is the 55-gallon plastic barrel, in order to use 55-gallon barrels for your system, you’ll need to cut them
Grow beds are usually created by cutting the barrels in half lengthwise. Fish tanks can be created by cutting out the end containing the bungholes, leaving the sturdy ring in place to provide structural integrity
Once you’ve cut the barrel, you may find the plastic begins to sag and deform. It is common to support the base of the barrel with boards. You can also screw the cut edge to something (like the half-barrel next to it) to prevent sagging
2-A grow bed is any tray, tube, or tank in which your plants grow. However, deep grow beds will produce more vigorous plants, yielding harvests roughly 20 percent larger than shallow trays
Aquaponics grow beds should be about 12 inches deep. This gives adequate room for almost any root system
3-An auto-siphon is an automatic way to quickly drain a grow bed once the water level has reached the desired level. Auto-siphons don’t have any moving parts, so they don’t need electricity.
4- both can its depend on your system design.
Here is the system updates

There is 1 more Q that i missed out….
1. Where did you get the tilapia fries from in KL ?
Went to some aquarium shops, they only selling minimum qty like 500.
@Albert Sew I bought for RM 10 only, at the aquarium shop seri kembangan area
What happens to the solid waste that build up in the swirl filter? Will they get broken down completely ? Or you need to clean it occasionally? Also do you need to change the water often?
Hi there!
You need to use filter mat for the solid waste .
What a great video! It’s the future system of all homes I believe, love it!
Great video!!! Watched your 2nd video and got some questions.
What is the ratio for the fish: vegetables grown would you suggest?
With this ratio,how do I determine the size of the water container i will need to start?
Can the nutrient water be used to grow non-leafy greens such as tomato?
Is there an ideal or optimal number of fish per plant?
Great video with step by step instructions. Thank you
Welcome . thanks for watching
Amazing and informative video. Thank you for the time you took to explain everything you did and why. Awesome teacher!
Happy to hear that.
Thanks for watching
Nice video. It would be nice to also add a bubble diffuser or an aerator to increase tilapia and plant growth. Diffusers are probably not needed on a system as small as this one but a lot of processes can be automates with sensors and controllers.
Thank you
You have a water pump, put a venturi system on you retuning water, air pumps are yesterdays tech for aquaponics

Camera angles are a bit too close in this for me to enjoy. Maybe try panning out a good 25% or more?
Hi! I have a few questions. What size is your fish tank? Where did you get your 6 gallon bucket for the filter? What are the dimensions (how long and how wide) are the pipes and parts to build the siphon and bucket filter? Thanks a bunch!
Hi there !
I used 100 Gal water tank you better use bigger than mine . 120/150 Gal is great .
For the Buckets I bought from the local stores.
For the bell siphon I use 25 mm PVC pipe and Buckhead fitting .
For better understanding about the bell siphon watch this video … I explained about the bell siphon, doing great till now..

Que maravilha de de sistema amigo TMJ
Life changing. Thank you!
welcome
Thank you for the video. It is very easy to follow and understand, and doesn’t make aquaponics seem so intimidating to beginners
I saw the list at the beginning of the video, but could you post a list in the comments here of all the complete materials needed?
Wow this is very impressive, using so much recycled and inexpensive stuff! The power of DIY.
thank you.
This is thee best informative aquaponics video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
you’re welcome
