HD Aquaponics - Ep.20 - Modding the barrel aquaponics system, adding a venturi, solar water heater

So we made a few changes to the barrel aquaponics system. We took out some pipe and added a Venturi to help aerate the water. The Venturi works by water passing through a pipe with holes in the side to pull air down the pipe and out of the bottom to be deposited into the water.

rain changes ph, and lowers the concentration of nutrients.

@marthale7 I think you hit the nail on the head.

discarded produce seeds grow..

thats what happens when you use compost...

Would you get finer air bubbles off your venturi if the hole u drilled were smaller and the flow rate higher?

all my outdoor systems are doing fine, and i actually top off all the tanks with my rain water collection system. i havent had any trouble with my rain water affecting my systems in any way.

Nice work. I would guess the rain water is your problem on the barrel system. Keep the videos coming!
