Aquaponics Trial #2

Hey guys, its been a while.

Here's the second trial I've been doing at my house. Had the first prototype moved out of the shade plus additional 2 pods. Also added a fish tank i acquired from a fish store that's about to move out of town.


Actually these photos here are outdated by 2-3 months, since I've already started to harvest them from August. Anyway, here's a close-up of the pods.


I've been trying a lot of different kinds of vegetable; kailan, lettuce, salad, cabbage, sawi, etc. But the most success I've had so far is the kangkung (water spinach).


The two tanks shown are connected underneath; the right tank receives freshly filtered water from the pods. It has 9-10 lampam fish. The water then travel to the left tank (along with fish faeces), before being pumped to the highest pods to begin the cycle again.

Aquaponics is a method by which you grow plants and nurture aquatic animals together in a system that

recirculates the nutrients produced, to the benefit of both plants and animals. The aquaponics

approach is gaining in popularity as a sustainable gardening method and if you're curious to try it

out for yourself, there are some great hacks for building your own system.Just see the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEix_-CLhAY
