Gravity Feed Constant Flow Aquaponic System

[ujusmine]

I started my aquaponic system 14.2.12 but my plants are not so nice. The first week

The plants very beautiful BUT now some die,

Some like stop growing and little yellow .

Any advise. Tq.

I want to build a gravity feed system that pumps its own water no electricity using a water wheel that collects the water and transferes it back to the fish tank....Nice job congrats

thank you for your post i was thinking about something like this

[brendahodgins]

yay, no bell siphon! I think... Sure worth a try... You could always have a filter added to the system somewhere along the way to get rid of the ammonia. Have you tested your water yet?

@brendahodgins I did add a couple of belly siphons a few months ago, and this system has worked out just fine. Water tests are good, veggies and fish are great!

@UrbanFishFarmer Thank you for responding... I thought there should be a way to use gravity. still the tiered levels are good, and I bet you could get quite a bit of growing space from one little pond. Way to grow! xoxo

This system has been up and running for about 60 days. I have added an extra grow bed since this video with the hydroton medium to balance out the system a little better as the fish grew. So far everything is balancing out well.

How long have you had this system set up? Are there enough plants to filter the waste water produced by the fish?

I'm new to aquiponics and looking to learn all that I can before possibly starting my own system some day.

very cool and simple aquaponic system!
