DIY Aquaponics Trough / Channel Flow & Ebb Hydroponic System

This is a cheap DIY Aquaponic / Hydroponic trough or channel system with reservoir. This is a reliable Flow & Ebb, self contained Hydroponic system. I have had to perform some maintenance on this model but it depends on how you filter the drain of each channel. In theory you can flood many meters of channel with this system with the minimal of power input & relying on gravity to do the work. This could also be the basis of a very good fish fertilising system.

is this constant flow

[tonyiannetta]

No it's not constant flow, the timer is a cheapest analogue timer which is on for 15min in every hour. if there is a power fail then it just carries on as normal without having to be reset.

Was going to make th esame comment. I use to work in a facility that did both, Aqua and Hydro. The aqua was for our fish.

I think it's great. Would be perfect for my place if it was free standing so I could put it on my patio or in front of a window.

Hi mate - nice use of space. you should try it with some fish (aquaoponics) for a bit more fun. handful of goldfish should do the trick but you'll need to keep an eye out for algae. Nice work though!.

[vitkiktiv]

Your terminology is all WRONG ! this is HYDROPONICS and NOT aquaponics, the system seems to be a hybrid NFT/EBB and FLOW and not flow an ebb wtf???

But it's good for a beginner I guess ????
