Aquaponics Made Easy 02 DVD

A smaller above ground pool is the answer

[OverSoulMatrix33]

things is your pool is full of rain water, who knows what is in the rain water these days with all the geo engineering and chemtrails...

Hi, I just started looking into the aquaponics (Plants/fish) set up...so I'm clueless when it comes to this but very much interested. I was wondering what would happen if the power went out for 1, 2, 3, months or even a year or more in a total disaster country wide. How would you keep the equipment running without any power ? I taken the fish would die off without water circulation.

i love murray and have learned SOOOO much from him, but i slightly disagree here

aquaponics in a pool IS possible and has been done, i have seen a group here on youtube that uses an old pool and even incorporates chickens into the system, its beautiful

he is absolutely right about the grow beds, you need balance, and room is a giant factor, but with the right amount of room, the proper size fish stock, a pool CAN work

sorry to disagree murray but still love you and look forward to learning

So I can just toss a few fish into my swimming pool and call it good ?

[osamabinsmokin]

I have a 100,000 liter tank and around 2 acres of land with 300 old trees below it, sounds to me like it's possible, any comments?

[flashtoons]

A tank of that size would require a seriously large pump and thousands of fish to provide the necessary nutrients to grow the plants. Aquaponics is all about maintaining a balance between fish-mass ratio and growbed space. Too much water and not enough fish wont give your plants sufficient nutrients for them to thrive and grow.

checkout gardenpool . org

[knelledkismet]

what is the proper ratio? i can do the math accordingly.

[handsomedevil888]

very interesting video, iam preparing a concrete tank outside my garden and planning to grow a cream dory, iam just wondering what will be the best grow bed since iam residing here in the philippines,iam not if i can find the same grow bed that you are using.

[flashtoons]

Google IBC 1000 litre tanks.

Hi, I plan to deploy Aquaponics on my indoor fish farm as a means to filter out ammonia from the fish water. I deploy big fish tanks of 40 m3 of water each. I need to calculate the optimum plant population as well as hydroton quantity to achieve perfect filtering of this water quantity. Is there a proven analogy (i.e., plant population and/or hydroton quantity to fish water quantity) that ensures a well-balanced nitrogen cycle? Your assistance would be invaluable.

[flashtoons]

Yes Google Dr Wilson Lennard Fish Sizing Calculator

[avitoyee]

Wrong, if you feed the fish less protein, the less nitrogenous waste would be excreted, thus requiring less plants. Plants, even water-floating plants like water lettuce and duckweed are very powerful ammonia assimilator for them to grow when exposed under great sunlight. You definitely can stock a large density of fish in that pool. Just test the ammonia level of the water and control your feed.

[MilesB1975]

The point is , that the amount of fish needed to make enough nutrients for a pool that size would be huge.

[TheWorrier114]

hippies why not go aquaponics with some dope jk lol we at Klein Forest are making the 1st aquaponics system in the State of Texas At Applied Agriculture lol tyvm

[foggelus]

gettin on the train a little late hugh?! we were growing with aquaponics in high school in 1996 Long beach MS

[ketammerah1]

your vegetable a so healty...yum3

[ANTHONYB5615]

Thats a waste of a pool.

[wayrajina]

OH !!!wonderful.

[NOSMOJEFF]

BALANCE is the tipping scale if man is to recover from the mess we are in

[Ruushian1095]

I'm remembering that. Totally quotable.

[NOSMOJEFF]

Thank you :)

[superpunchy71]

Why not just fill the pool to say 1/4 full, put the fish in and then put the plant tray beds inside the pool elevated on stilts above the water?

[oggmttkmbbms]

Thats a great idea. But then they couldnt sell their unworkable hobby kits.

[haynesmachine]

genius

[uongduong]

i get where ur going but to say is that where are that money ur going to buy a big pump since the pool is kinda deep and need alot of energy (witch is a big waste) to keep the flow going? another thing is to buy the tray and fish have to go under the tray, that the same as without the tray......

[marthale7]

@superpunchy71 check out TheGardenPool here on you tube.  Yes it can be done with less volume of water.

[flashtoons]

Yes good point. That will work.

[RedMarineNex]

@superpunchy71 Excellent idea. Might be a little tricky to build the grow beds/stilts inside the pool, and access could be problematic, but otherwise, great idea!

[easyaquaponics]

Fantastic illustration...very professional.
