Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

No worries Ron, I won't actually stop posting over a number. Of course if I don't post for a week or so here coming up, it's because I'm feaking busy. Got a workshop to give and then I've flying off to Denver for the Aquaponics Association Conference. And some how have to make sure the Cook and Eric know how much to feed the fish each day and make sure they don't both do it since they probably wouldn't notice a water quality issue till it was too late!

But anyway......... I'd better get to bed since we are doing some filming here tomorrow so I should probably avoid having bags under my eyes.

Sorry for the Hijack Rupe

This is a cool set up Rupe! Everyone seems to call you Rupe so I shall call you Rupe from now on.

Call me what you like MacGyver.... until I was thirteen... I thought my name was... "shut up"....

Ok... the NFT tubes... are they actual products, or re-purposed somethings?

I keep thinking of 'roof drains'... We don't really have 'em here in Vegas. It rains so seldom, that we let it go to waste. Stupid, but true.

I did find some 'HP' looking tubes available, but I was trying to be more re-purpose oriented. It appears you're using 'drip irrigation' tubing into your grow tubes, too.

Dancin'... they're standard NFT hydroponic channels... and they're constantly supplied with water via the "drip" tubes...

I have seen people successfully use rainwater downpipes....
