Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi guys here are some pics of my system and using autosiphon as suggested by rupertofOZ and the concept of autosiphon was amazing instead of me purchasing a timer and I only have a small space.

it was funny the carpeter was not available but I was so excited so I took it into my own hands so carpentry here we go here is the table:



me cutting:


testing the barrels


biofiler


finished biofilter


finished ap


the next day after i did it I was bed ridden hehe but man I cant wait next weekend to test the auto siphon and I'll put the lava rocks on the growbed and put the fish and wait for my water to become stable.

Thanks guys.


by the way for you comments also.

triffic!

Have a feeling this one's gunna work for you Jamesto

There's something so satisfying about building something with your own two hands.

Hi Jamesto ...

So nice to see pics of the actual people behind the systems! Kewl!

You wouldn't be saying that if you had to see a picture of me Johnnie

Good luck with the siphons jamesto

LOL

Great progress there! looking forward to seeing it at work!

Go man go!

thanks guys for all you support appreciate it actually my dad doesn't like the idea so I would need to prove myself heheh

Yeah, seems most need to prove it to someone, i was talking to my uncle yesterday, and he basically repeatedly said how it sounded dodgy because of its relationship to hydroponics, and his idea that all hydroponics is growing dope......But well show him!!!

Systems looking good too!!

Jamesto - since you are having to prove yourself, make sure that the grow-bed stand is going to safely hold the weight of the grow-beds. If you are filling them with gravel - there will be a lot of weight in them. Your construction looks good - it's just that to me the wood looks fairly thin - though hard to tell from photographs.

a few more legs added directly under the blue barrels would/should add enough support then...
