Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

A ~2000 sq foot NFT(nutrient film technique) growing system from American Hydroponics.

It is designed to work with 1" - 1.5" Oasis growing cubes sitting in water channels and can be modified to take 2" oasis cubes.

It has roughly 260 - 14 foot channels and an additional 35 – 14 foot nursery channels.
It has all the racks required to hold 2000 square feet of growing area.

There are water collectors at the end of each channel to redirect the water back into the tanks in a recirculating system.

The system when in use was segregated into 4 sections to minimize contamination and allow for easier crop cycling/cleaning.

Each section has a 150 gal water tank with pump with a few extra pumps and PVC piping to the intake valve of the NFT. Each 10' section has a cut off valve and individual spaghetti lines feeding each channel.

There is a control board to automatically balance (both PH and EC) a 500-2000 gallon tank, with reverse osmosis filter, and 2 sub tanks for A and B nutrients. Also has a reservoir for PH up/down. The former owner was using a 500 gallon tank to feed the sub-tanks but it is not included.

There is a channel washer, with a ~3000 psi power washer. The design has the pressure outlet on the end of a long rod to pressure wash the inside length of the channels.

Additional to this I also have 2 - PVC germination tables roughly 4' x 10' in area. They employ a 35 gal tank, small pump, and 4 crop king 10' x 11" crop channels. Each channel can hold 6 Oasis sheets (1" cubes, in a 9x18 configuration). All they will need is an automatic timer for regular watering. These are ideal for growing microgreens.
