Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Picked my first edible this morning. Anaheim pepper.

Just a video update on my system.

I like the use of the clear bottle for the siphon. I haven't seen anyone do this before. Kind of cool to see how the water acts while the siphon is working.

I need to make a video of it cycling. It is kinda cool to just watch. Lol.

Sorry but you're not the first, neither am I . It is pretty neat - In case anyone wants to try this - Did this a few years back using a plastic pop bottle and another with a mayonaise jar. There are some on how to use a pop bottle but couldn't find the one I used. Here's a mayonaise jar version someone made - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWV1AaH5s7A&list=PL_pfJzTPq77vTi_I0UveiC1i3jtMaN242)

I never claimed to be first. I saw a video of someone else using it and gave it a try. Works much better, for me, then the capped pipe.

Great vid Stoney... picture is worth 1K words when autosiphons are the topic

Actually I wasn't trying to give you any grief littlestoney. My comment was aimed at Jrl but I misinterpreted his post, hopefully I haven't stepped on anyone's toes - carry on

No problems. It's sometimes hard for me to interpret people in forums also.

whew..... situation diffused. lol
