HD Aquaponics - Ep.18 - Now cycling on a timer, planting the strawberry towers, floating raft
Well we finally got the dwarf tomato plants planted inside the strawberry towers. The lettuce planted inside the floating raft bed. And finally converted our indoor aquaponics system to run on a timer by running a plastic line between the two drains.
Indoor Aquaponics - I wanted to give an overview of the External Bell Siphon and the workings of our indoor system.

This week we dissect the workings of the swirlpoincs and learn how easy it is to harvest your fish fertilizer for your soil-based gardens.

The greenhouse is getting a little out of control so we need to add some supports to keep the plants from falling in on themselves. I also harvest some carrots and we look at the growth of the blue tilapia.

My goldfish are dropping like flies and I need to figure out why. I'm guessing we have a lack of good oxygen in the warmer water so we're going to add a spray head to the recirc line to help move that water around.

This is the new Barrel Aquaponics system equipped with three stages of filtration, a floating raft or DWC system, along with two, five gallon grow beds. These five gallon grow beds use an external u-siphon to drain the beds like clockwork. The system run on a single pump with a minimum level set on the sump tank. The filtration combines swirl and two stages of media filters to collect and capture solids from the system to keep your aquaponics invest working like the first day you built it. Collect fish solids for your soil based gardens using the Barrel aquaponics swirl filter and blow down system. Sign up for our aquaponics mailing list on the website below.

My barrelponics system is 99% complete. Here I show you the guts of the system and how it works.'

This barrel aquaponics system uses fish that produce waste into the water which in turn is pumped into the grow beds where a bacteria converts the ammonia (fish waste) into nitrates. These nitrates are absorbed by the plants as fertilizers and the plants clean the water that is now being returned to the fish.

Made some much needed changes to the Bell Siphon. 3/4" stand pipe, 2"Bell. Looks like the water is being drained at a greater rate.
