Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hello All,

This is my balcony setup. I'm starting over because I got married recently and haven't much time to attend to it. I used to grow tomatoes and other veggies here. Check it out.

by the way, that small plant at the bottom is a calamansi plant in cocopeat...I get a water from the aquarium and use it to water the plant mannually everyday...

looks good.

Nice and simple Demet.... you know there's a guy on eBay selling a set up like that for about $1,000 LOL

$ 1000 US? that's criminal...I have a future plan...let me draw it and I'll consult with you my dear gurus

Nice job Demet.
Simple is good.. less things to go wrong.
Looks like it gets plenty of light too so it won`t be long before the tubing vanishes under lush vegetation.

very cute I like that a lot.
Next time you post pictures, post them in reverse order, then they'll show up in the right order.

my balcony is actually enclosed...in the future, I want to attach tower AP to my balcony walls and attach it to a bigger tank at the ground floor(with tilapia) and I'll have a small jungle in the back of my house...

I doubt you`ll have any light problems there.

I grew thai chilli plants inside the house to the side of a window..it was a bit optimistic to expect a 4ft tank to support 12 of them though

I've actually had good harvests of tomatoes and chillis here...my next step would be cauliflowers and broccolis...

demet, i love the pipe, its got one of those "impossible picture" looks about it

Hi Demet....

here's the eBay link to something very similar to your setup...
although it's hydroponic... this is his cheap unit... LOL

Mobile Hydro Unit

That's a friggin Joke.

Yep, love the look of your system - almost a 'heath robinson' typ look to it

look, to be honest there probably a few hundred dollars in pvc and steel in it.

But some people have more money than diy abilities, and it does look neat.

No, its NOT me selling it (i'd have fish in the bottom tube )
