Good job 👍🏾

Cool thanks!!

Wow nice

Hi - I enjoyed that and have been thinking of having a go at it - I like the way you have it set up and nothing too complicated or expensive - I think I would try and make a centrifugal sediment trap directly from the pump with a drain tap - for removing solids and keeping grow medium clean - and incorporate that into it. Thanks for the upload...!

Hey thanks a ton for this video. I have been looking all over the net for some kind of shelf or materials for a shelf for my set up. My big problem is that I can't find a window box big enough. My tank is 4 ft long. This is a great idea which gave me another good idea. One thing cool I have made is an auto water changer that works very easy.

Hey man, so I love that you went DIY and built this beast. So I have a concern about your drainage system. While it's great that you have 2 drain outlets, there will ALWAYS be water in your system up to the level of your drain pipe. This is unwanted because you'll be forcing your plants to have their roots just sitting in the water. No good can come from this. You may want to consider getting bulkhead fittings from Home Depot for the grow bed, use a piece of pvc as a stand pipe and then use a larger diameter piece of pvc to cover your stand pipe, creating a bell syphon. The bell syphon would be your best bet because you can empty out almost ALL of your water out of the grow bed and it will ensure that oxygen is actually getting down to your roots. There are a TON of videos on here showing the concept of and construction of a bell syphon, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to put together.

Hey matt, really appreciate this comment! So currently there’s only about 1/4th of an inch of overhang in the system- but I did experience some root rot on the first test run so I think I may want to go bell siphon next to really help with getting air down there. My main concern was with a 10 gal it’s going to take out quite a bit of water before it’s returned back to the tank.

I just get a soap / sponge holder with 2 suction cups and add peace lily and pothos with their clean roots submerge in water. It only cost a few dollars.

I'm looking at doing this, I've seen some where the return pipes are higher into the flower tray to allow the water to fill and stay in the pay and as it over flows into the pipe it keeps the water moving, but only certain plants like to have their roots submerged. like lettuces etc.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJmHqpOcdMSWh84.html this link the guy has a aquaponic tank with the roots submerged. but i like the layout of yours better, i just think i may want the water level in the tray to be just under the clay media by about 2-3 inches so there's room for the root bulb and base of the plant to stay dry but the lower roots can submerge, and then i would just have the inlet be in one spot so it doesn't temp roots to fill it in clog up the system .

Hi, So when fish poop is pumped into the hydroton its in a Nitrite state. Typ. they use worms to break down fish poop from nitrite to nitrate so the plants can uptake the nutrients. How are you going to do that? Thanks; Hope this helps, And good luck. ps bigger is better in A.P.

Beneficial bacteria should take care of that conversion. There is bound to have some gunk in the reservoir, but its really easy to clean out. I just dump the clay into a 5 gal bucket filled with clean water and wash it out with a hose.
