Backyard Aquaponics Intall video Part 1 of 3

[1007Transporter]

Very informative videos, too bad theres not place you can buy those containers here on Guam, very tropical island do beautiful but very limited in supplies. Thanks for the video.

[Bassbuster22]

remind me not to be smart alec with you....tossing all that stone around must mean good size muscles under those sweats. I'm interested in those grow tubs also.

[Living4fishing]

Were can you get those tubs there perfect

[backyardaquaponics]

@Living4fishing which tubs? The growbeds or fish tanks?

[enmanuelpaz]

en español please

[Hotpants1231]

Whats the floating plant in the pond at the start?

[TheMontanahouse]

Why do you have the irrigation pipe around the perimeter of the growbed? If you just had a pipe filling the growbed at any single point, wouldn't the water fill the entire bed evenly? It just seems like the extra pipe in the growbed is a unnecessary. Am I overlooking something?

[backyardaquaponics]

@TheMontanahouse The irrigation pipe allows solid matter to be spread around the perimeter of the bed. all solids being pumped into the one spot can cause build up.

[TheMontanahouse]

@backyardaquaponics Is pipe used in the growbed 1.25 inch pipe?

[TheMontanahouse]

@TheMontanahouse What size pipe did you use in the actual growbed? Was it 1.25 inch or 1.5 inch?

[pommyrooter]

I was just wondering could Permaculture and Aquaponics be in anyway compatible.

[backyardaquaponics]

@pommyrooter Very much so. if you visit permaculture research institutes website and search the forums for aquaponics you will find lots of interesting discussions.

[pommyrooter]

@backyardaquaponics, Thanks a lot, i will do that.

[backyardaquaponics]

Dome species of fish may breed in the tank, just depends on the species you use.

[thespaniard47]

do the fish breed in the tanks?

[jcgtv2]

Where can I get the table stands in the US?

Thanks

[blazeveryday6996]

lol no wonder there not growing some herb .. its juss two chicks

[akhenatn]

thats a lot of expanded clay, how much you spend on one bed setup?

[backyardaquaponics]

@akhenatn You don't have to use expanded clay, you can use many different types of rock media including things like river gravel, pea gravel, crushed basalt or blue metal.

[hirocaster]

7:05 can you explain to me the output of the expanded clay tank? Is one pipe inside of another, but the water comer over the larger pipe? I saw another video of aquaponics using auto siphon, but yours seems to be different.

Also, what pipe cutter are you using in this series?

Very interesting videos, I'm trying to find similar tanks here in Brazil to start my aquaponics with Tilapia! Thanks!

[free6006]

That's good. Can I ask a question because I can't catch some of your words. What is kind of thing you put in the sink? brown stones? Thank you.

[backyardaquaponics]

We have used expanded clay pebbles, you can also use many different rock media like gravel etc.

[Ekogen]

Its brilliant inovation you have going on here. As an experienced fish farmer from way back i wish i new of this,,,, it just make so much environmental sense

[YoSoyDelNombre]

wow I would love to do this one day soon... this si reall cool!!

[cs2sw]

It saves more water and is more effective if you punch some holes in the bottom of the bag and filling it with water. Then just pore it in the system after your done that way you ensure and even and more consistent way to clean them pebbles . Good video thanks.

[twistedfocus100]

Nice Boots!!!!!!!

[sinicalgary]

Awesome lots of info and very creative I cant wait to start growing Mari... er um... vegetables yes that's is vegetables

[FishyMoe]

@sinicalgary omg if u grow dope i will so tell your mum on you

[dizzitoast]

Thank you for sharing this info!!!!

[silverpizza100]

stupid helicopter cop thinks its weed, Dumb motherfuckers!

[jieboyskybwi]

hello! question pls! how your system works? did your water flow continiusly in the growbed? 24-7 and how high the water in your growbed?......thanks! your system is the best!

[moveEcritik]

she says Ensure At least 100 times

[changingmyself]

@moveEcritik That is to ensure that you got the message! :P

[davelovestash]

What a great system!!! wish we could get them in Cairns!!! Much better than some other systems I have seen for sale in Brisbane :)

[Astonish666]

AWESOME!!! My future wife and I want to set one of these up when we get some land in the country. My goal is to be able to live off the land 100% even in the winter. I also wish to make my own solar panels to save on energy costs. Especially with the way the economy is going these days.

[dizzitoast]

@Astonish666

I'm totally with you on that one! This is the future. Cities cannot sustain themselves, and we don't know where our food is coming from.  This is the way to go!

[HPaillet]

uhm you miss spelled install

[tieplay]

Is there a US availability of your kits?

[greenfrog140]

God bless you ! your doing a good job for teching us this great thing.

[bigbumnutsucker]

aahh yes I know your youtube name says it all

i was helping out the comment that was made three weeks ago that you hadnt answered..

isall

[backyardaquaponics]

Yes, I've had issues trying to respond, seems to work now... I can show you where to get a real rip off system if you like..? :o)

[bigbumnutsucker]

these guys are real ripoffs for a single bed system your looking at about $1300.

goto website below check out there forums for lots of cheap options

[backyardaquaponics]

We are backyard aquaponics... It's our video of installing one of our systems, and we run the forum.. Each to their own..

[anavdo]

where are you from?

[4plex123]

do you have a web site

[Gerg424]

This appears to be some kind of kit - is this true?

If so where do I get one?

[ki09ki8998ik]

hi we both have an interest in this aqua system

we are putting one together soon

i will send you my info when we get it done ok?

i will contact you through you tube

[Gerg424]

Thank you.

[cordlox]

where'd you get those beds?

[hopeitshappy]

u should wash the clay pebbles in the bags first before putting them in

[TalksWithDirt]

Fascinating. What kind of fish do you have in those tanks? How fast do they grow? Do they self multiply or do you have to restock? Thanks for the answers!

[backyardaquaponics]

The system shown at the start of this video has trout in it, there's just over 100 in there and they are between 300 and 400 grams at the moment. Take about 6 months to grow up to 500g.

Trout don't breed themselves but there are some species of fish that will breed in a tank.

[TalksWithDirt]

SO after growth an extraction rate of 2 per week could be sustained with replenishment. Can you feed fish grain, or something you can grow in the system? How independent can you make the system? What book would you think a Yank like me could find in America to answer my questions and teach me how to size a system?

[TalksWithDirt]

Say do algal blooms shutdown aquaponics like it would a hydroponic system?

[backyardaquaponics]

Not at all.. Fish stocking density is balanced to the number of growbeds in a system

[lostorfound19]

lol drill was going backwards at 2:00  been there done that
