With this sort of system, how could you get the necessary trace/other minerals into the feeding system? I think im right in thinking that the fish produce amonia, which converts to nitrites and nitrates, but what about the magnesium, manganese, potassum, zinc etc - is there a way to work this into the system without harming the fish?
I f the problem is the water temp and the ph balance why not address them by building deeper tanks/ponds in the ground and monitor the ph balance.....why did u have to throw away the entire system and replace it with the 'fish system'....why not address the problems of the hydro instead of changing to the aqua system....!????
you need a water chiller to keep temps 60-67 degrees in all hydroponics, most growers don't do this and get fusarium disease or root rot which can reduce yield, brown roots, and or crop failure
@MrMDK187 Scott I could like to see the full lenght videos you are speaking of. I am going to build my first Aquaponic set up in a few weeks and I would benifit from the I think. my, e-mail is robert_smi2@yahoo.com

@ddaannm2 Ok lets do a cost break down. Green house = free to several thousand $s Ponds $1000 to $20,000 depending on size Pluming $300 Pumps $300 Air pumps $150 Electrical $100 a month Water $ free if harvested from the sky fish food FREE is you use roaches and other insects of worms plus plant trimmings seeds $ free once you starts propagating your own labor $? Your intial investment is high but the long term results will far out weigh the setup costs.

just because you grow your own organic food doesn't mean you need to stop eating other foods people need variation, as well as for myself i love fresh fruit and vegtables and can only eat fish if it is fresh being from the northwest getting spoiled on fesh fish but that doesnt mean im gonna stop eating steak so if yor goin off that logic then he must be drinking a lot of beer/liquer due to the distended stomach and rosy cheeks but thats no big deal because u can grow your own hops and barly.
I have found that if you take a little bat guano that is high in phosphorous and place it at the beginning of the circulation system you can feed flowering plants what they need but will have to have another filtration system hooked up as a return to your fish so high levels of bat guano are in the fish water
This is a very young industry, not many books out there. I spent a year taking notes and killing my fish and plants tell I found my way. I got a ppm meter and started understanding the water and what the plants needed. These systems are a little tricky but once you have a bio filtration system that works its all down hill. These systems are high in nitrogen and flowering plants need phosphorous so until you understand the basic fundamentals stick with herbs and lettuce.
Can you do this anywhere? Commercially I mean? Or do you have to have a specific climate? I have funds and would love to get into this but am worried that my climate is too harsh (high desert climate with hot summers and cold winters).
Even though the fish could potentially take up to 2 years to bring to market, having successive generations being grown over time and managing culture properly can bring fish to market every month. It all depends on your management techniques. Fish excreting NH4 Ammonia through their gills into the environment, then natural bacteria convert the ammonia product into usable nitrite and nitrate NH3 products which are then used by the plants converting to 02 and ATP for growth, remarkably efficient!
I can't help but notice the growers distended abdomen. This is commonly attributed to red meat consumption, which is ironic considering he grows organic vegetables. Like he said, the bottom line is, it's all about the money.
@derman077 That is NOT a biologically scientific observation. Throughout the animal kingdom, plant eaters are larger and have larger stomachs for just a whole lot of reasons that are too elaborate to mention here. Omnivores who become vegetarians have to know the sacrifice they are making nutritionally, in order to make intelligent compensation for absence of meat in the diet. In any case, to make a conclusion about someone's diet because of the size of her abdomen, is foolish AND cruel.
There is something I don't get here. How do those sparse tiny fish support enough biomass to feed all of those plants until they grow up? Are the plants being fertilized by the fish food? How is the change in biomass of fish from hatchling to adult managed to provide the plants consistent food?
@zigzigerblat Large numbers of fingerlings are needed at the start and as they increase in mass, they are weighed and the numbers adjusted down to keep the system in optimum condition. Commercial systems are more complex than DIY home systems.
@flashtoons I am interested in commercial systems. I want to save up and buy some land and do something like what you have shown in this video. My father has 17 acres and the cost of fertilizer and feed is great. I am interested in systems that are organic and where you cultivate your own sustaining fertilizer. I am also interested in cultivating spirulina for fish feed (and human consumption).
@flashtoons great video, thanks for sharing. can you recommend any smaller systems incorporating a small pond or water feature for home use? I was thinking a 20-30 plant set up for mixed fruits and salads. im happy to diy.
@zigzigerblat Fish can only live at 300 to 400 Parts Per Million of water. PPM'S. Depending on the setup 1000 fish in a 5000 gallon pond can make almost 1200ppms in the water from pee and poop. Which is high in nitrogen. You would need to remove 700 to 1000 ppms out a day to provide clean water for your fish to live while creating food for your plants and in a years time should have a very stable system depending on the size of the set up
@rastyles79 You sound very well versed on this. Can you recommend a good book that would have that type of information for calculating systems like that?
Great, congratulate you. I need a such technology. But I need investments. Is anyone intrested to help me in Romania. I have land, I need technology and financing. write to trivale@walla.com to help me.
I am interested to get into aquaponic and was watching your videos and one question have cam to my mind i would appreciated if you can answer me on this .
Can you grow lettuce with this system all year around ?
lettuce is very easy to grow which is why you see it so much in large aquaponic systems. They need little nutrients, most provided by the fish. I am part of a design team developing green farms that will grow everything from fish to fruits. Specific plants grown to create nutrients for all the other plants, and as fish food. $200,000 mini-farm 70'x70' area able to pay for itself in under 2 years, and provide wholesale costs to the end consumers. Our first two farms should be running by years end
of the 13 essential elements that plants need ( from soil, 3 they get form the atmosphere ) most can be found in common commercial fish food in some degree, or from the water supply itself....like chlorine,calcium,iron
The only problem I see with this is you really have to build your own system. Paying upwards of $10,000 for a family system makes it hard to justify as rate of return for your investment would take a very long time. Looking at all of the "home kit" sellers they are all around that price tag.
@drahm33 I wonder why this would be limited to lettuce?
You can half grow time using aeroponics and not have to spray at all.
Combine this with our existing capacity, discovered permaculturing techniques and the deserts this allows to be GREENED, and there's no reason we should have any problems, save greed.
If our owners play with supply and demand, as in financial and job areas, we WILL be deliberately starved; not necessary, but does look like the plan.
@drahm33 Might want to work on your English skills if you got 'communal ideas' or shared property out of that; that was all in your mind.
Those damn 'evil commies' are wearing suits, this time. lol!
It's an American concept called SELF-RELIANCE, but first requires ditching the central banksters and their Luciferian owners sucking our vitality in hundreds of ways.
I completely disagree with your ideas on continuing the enslavement of Americans.
@UnoRaza lettuce does good in deep water culture because the roots of lettuce are very efficient in getting oxygen and can be submerged with very little aeration
I am all for organic and chemical free but when it comes to acquaponics, do the plants receive *all* the nutrients they really need? Soils have an enormous number of elements to them. Despite the artificially created tastes made by the advertisers, variation is a god thing - especially if you are allowing the plants to take up as wide a variety of nutrients as possible. The plants know what they need the best in any given environment.
Does anyone know if acquaponics accounts for this?
As you can see, the YouTube software program is made redundant. Personally, I think it is an insult to our intelligence that YouTube (now owned by Google) doesn't allow website addresses to be published in public comments. The whole point of the internet is that you can link to other web pages. Hence the name: inter-net!
I read LoveHeartLogicHead's question from the uploader comments where he asked how can a plant receive all the nutrients it needs from an aquaponic farm. However, you were unable to respond because YouTube wouldn't let you post a URL in the comments.
Can you please post the URL you were talking about?
@LoveHeartLogicHead absloutely. Aeroonics is an awsome way to grow unbelievably healty, fresh, organic greens. Ive never seen an aeroponics system with unhealthy plants even with no nutrients added to the water flow. Plants love the highly oxyenated mist in there roots and take all the nutrients they can. As far as the artifical taste, I know soil has bacteria and other composts that give a more naturall taste but many growers actually prefer the hydro food.
@LoveHeartLogicHead Just feed your plants some kelp fertilizer every couple weeks or so. Kelp has all the "missing" ingredients not found in fish nitrates, and since it comes from the ocean, fish like it too. Also feed the fish red wigglers from the grow beds, which will supply a perfect feed for plants and fish alike since the worms love fish poo too. You will be 100% organic, chemical free.
@LoveHeartLogicHead When I got started I had some sad looking crops I started adding good compost to the water, fish didn’t seem to mind and the plants thrived.
I’ve since found all you need to do is ensure the food that you are feeding the fish has the nutrients and elements you want these can vary widely depending on the crops that are grown.
Often just adjusting the ph adds lots of elements depending on how you do it.
@LoveHeartLogicHead I have heard somewhere at an institute doing research on this that you have to combine additional nutrients on top of what the fish are providing. giving your plants all of what they need is essential for yields, and nutrient content.
@archuletajustin That is not true. It may be true when a system is new but once it is mature the plants are far more healthy then anything you can get in any supermarket.
@archuletajustin That is not true. It may be true when a system is new but once it is mature the plants are far more healthy then anything you can get in any supermarket.
@LoveHeartLogicHead Once a system matures the fish waist fills the grow media and the intruduction of worms greatly increases the nutrients in the grow media. After 12 months the grow media is 20 times richer then any dirt I have ever seen.

@CoffeeAndAViewdotcom I STRONGLY recommend building deep ponds in the ground and lining them with pond liner and concrete. The ground keeps the water at a much more consistent temperature. Which depending on your type of fish and plants can be one of the most important factors.

Run your water through heat exchangers at various points in your system. When it comes to thermal dynamics you remove heat not make cold. You can generate heat but not generate cold you remove heat. Buil your system where water gravity flows from level to level with a series of heat exchangers to control temperature within your system. This should assist in maintaining a consistant temp same system can save plants in event of frost.
What is the greenhouse material made from? With my home system, I'm thinking about a shadehouse, not a greenhouse! Ambient temperatures here can get over 40 C in summer. Is there a cheap and easy structure that can do both?
aquaponic production has almost the same productive rate as hydroponics, the crop harvest can delay maximum one extra week (comparing aquaponics to hydroponics)

@archuletajustin That is not true. It may be true when a system is new but once it is mature the plants are far more healthy then anything you can get in any supermarket.

@LoveHeartLogicHead Once a system matures the fish waist fills the grow media and the intruduction of worms greatly increases the nutrients in the grow media. After 12 months the grow media is 20 times richer then any dirt I have ever seen.

@CoffeeAndAViewdotcom I STRONGLY recommend building deep ponds in the ground and lining them with pond liner and concrete. The ground keeps the water at a much more consistent temperature. Which depending on your type of fish and plants can be one of the most important factors.

Run your water through heat exchangers at various points in your system. When it comes to thermal dynamics you remove heat not make cold. You can generate heat but not generate cold you remove heat. Buil your system where water gravity flows from level to level with a series of heat exchangers to control temperature within your system. This should assist in maintaining a consistant temp same system can save plants in event of frost.

What about the seedlings? Is your time/labor investment inclusive of the seedlings or are you buying them? Or producing them?

What is the greenhouse material made from? With my home system, I'm thinking about a shadehouse, not a greenhouse! Ambient temperatures here can get over 40 C in summer. Is there a cheap and easy structure that can do both?

Aquaponics can produce as well as Hydroponics and lettuce and similar crops grow in the same time frame.
Summer temps can be as high as 45 deg inside the greenhouse. Summer months 25 to 33 degrees daytime temp.

Excellent, is this to be made into a full length video like Aquaponics Made Easy ?

Hi, what is the ambient temperature in your place?
The aquaponics could be more or equal productive than the hydroponics?.
The cycle of the lettuce is the same in both systems?

@montoyaluis:
aquaponic production has almost the same productive rate as hydroponics, the crop harvest can delay maximum one extra week (comparing aquaponics to hydroponics)
