How to build a simple DIY Aquaponics system using a Koi Carp pond (for less than $200)

[Hunkybrowndude]

Thank you so much for sharing, At the moment I am looking into this sort of system to help feed a small community

@Hunkybrowndude not a worry, pleased you liked it

If im thinking correctly adding fish to the tanks under the beds could cause harm to the fish in the pond because the water reaching them would never be clean. You could split off the outtakes of the plant beds so that some of the fresh water is reaching the final tank aswell as the semi dirty from the tanks and that should be fine =). The setup is awsome i will be taking a few ideas from that for myself =)

@TeslaSaw thanks. Actually the water is filtered by the grow bed above. No need to split any water pipes. Good luck with your system. Pleased i was able to assist you.

@Kapulfilms How have the shell sandpits been working for beds? i can get these very cheep at my local shops. Or since im paying should i get better? .. Im going to be using an above ground kit pool (framed) for the fish tank, £40 and very large =)

What happened to the "how to" part of the video?

[sallymaggiespotty]

What a marvelous setup.I'm just learning about hydroponics and these videos are very helpful.Many thanks for the posting!

[Kapulfilms]

@sallymaggiespotty thanks this was my first trial, it working even smoother now.

is that enough space for 25 perch? i'm only getting interested in aquaponics and from other videos i thought the ratio would be somewhat lower on the fish for that black tank

[Kapulfilms]

@Pratichetti 80-100 perch can grow in the tank no worries. You eat the largets fish first which will provide space for the smaller ones to grow in more

i love how not only is it functional, it looks nice

the touch with the waterfalls and lion and 3 tiers, really NICE

beautiful setup

[Kapulfilms]

@dramey03 has to look good in my opionion.

[subzerized]

how do you do that.. i mean feed your kois out of your hand? my kois wont do that... infact everytime i go near the pond they would go in hinding...

[DamianHinkson]

if you mix a little algae with milk in a blender and spray it on a surface it would spread quickly.

i love you design btw

[Kapulfilms]

i have just upgraded the system completely using IBC tanks and added a silver perch tank as well. Ill put it all in the next video...

[lifekreator]

Thats interesting, keep up the good work.

[Kapulfilms]

@lifekreator thanks for the encouragement. Im also working on a new video and it will be out in the comming week.

thanks for your comment. Im only just starting with aquaponics however i have set up many development projects in PNG. I was the manager of Baiyer River Wildlife Sanctuary in Mt Hagen WHP & ran Aus Aid funded development projects based in Kainantu EHP. I have previously set up a fish farm in Yonki Dam EHP. Thinking about going back some time soon to installing a few aquaponic systems in a few villages. Check out some of my other you tube videos to see some of my work. I will make more soon.

Great setup, i like how your trying to keep it natural looking, mine looks like some scientific experiment haha but it is experimental too and going well so now its time to start planning a natural looking eco system. whats going on in PNG? i was born there but very young when i came to Australia.
