Excellent vid. Don't worry about the haters. Have converted two of my aquariums to raft systems. Excellent results. Simple and efficient and I am employed in the commercial hydroponics industry. Well down , alot to be said for keeping it simple :)

An easier way to sprout avocado seeds, I've found, is putting them in a compost bin a few inches down from the surface. Those are the only ones I've been able to seed, and honestly they were accidental grows because it was a compost bin. From that same bin I got broccoli and squash. They all just started growing on their own.

I think it's an interesting concept. I wouldn't use plastic cups, especially the single use type, because they leach toxins into the water. I think you can use some plant pots depending on the recycling number

Hi! I see that it's been 4 years since you posted this video. Just wanted to say thanks! The styrofoam idea was very helpful. I thought the effort made for your aquaponics tank was admirable. Yes, you did not know everything about everything. The important part was you most likely learnt some things by doing. Sometimes the best way to learn is trial and error. I'm going to take your idea and adapt it for my fish tank. I will likely have to experiment to get an efficient setup. I look forward to the process. Thanks again!

Love the video, Just a friendly suggestion with the cutting mat, I've warped mine from getting my iron too close so the hot tin might do the same. Don't know if you mind that or not just a heads up. :)

With the floating raft maybe use a pan of sorts that you can poke very small holes in the bottom than fill that with pumas rocks. The pumas will filter the water and you dint have to put it in the tank as you can pump the tank water up. This way it is a super efficient and self sustaining system for the tank and water.

Great idea. I think the holes might be a bit close for leafy veggies but great for herbs.

I used a ten gallon aquarium with a bell syphon to a grow bed using flagstone which is pH neutral. I never have to clean my fish tank because of the ebb and flow of the aquarium water in the grow bed. I would anticipate alot of solid fish waste accumulation in your aquarium. I don't have any stones in the aquarium which allows the pump to suck up all the fish waste. I found that more than 2 fish in an aquarium that size will create a high amonia environment thus killing off your fish unless you change the water frequently which is alot of extra work.

If you put an aquatic plant in the tank, it will take in the ammonia and nitrogen and you never will have to change the water. Although there was a ton of poop hidden at the bottom, I didn't change my tank water for nearly a year with no fish dying, I had to add water occasionally due to evaporation but that all.

Ive done this with Canabis and Goldfish , with 1 or 2 fish they could probably live off the roots and the plant would be kept in check , with more fish they eat all the plant roots.

looks like a great start up experiment..👍. good luck to you

This is good first try for experimenting and if you planned to do this seriously I would suggest some research on the whole subject as is this is unsustainable.

Where I live the water the water can actually turn green in the spring, and it can smell heavily of chlorine, it's also very hard so water conditioner is pretty much a no brainer

If you put a small pump in there that pumps the fish waste out into another container filled with lava rocks and sponges then have it flow back in at the opposite end of the tank your plants and your fish will do a lot better oh and put your air bubblers above the pump it will create a poll that brings all the fish waste to the pump... I have three set up and I use that method is working out great also I do not put gravel so the fish waste will flow across the bottom a lot easier

Awesome video

Finally a video showing you how to build it diy

Good simple setup but it has issues. The fish choice was not ideal. Try white cloud minnows or maybe guppies. Hopefully thats a Bristlenose Pleco, if so he should be fine but they need extra food as the algae in the tank will never be enough for him. I think thats more work than its worth and the goldfish grow far too big for a small tank like that. I would have also left the top more open as the water won't have enough surface area with the polystyrene the way it is. Why not use some Acrylic and have it as a lid on the tank with the 3" hole for the cups? You also need a better filtration system as the detritus will build up and the pleco needs some driftwood.

To start seedling what you do is soak a paper towel then fold the seed in the paper towel then place them in an airtight baggy and then they start to sprout after a few days/weeks

If you're gonna stick with the goldfish make sure they have 10 gallons per. Goldfish have crazy amonia and get about a 6-12inches long. It doesn't have to be an aquarium you could buy a large Tote or livestock watering trough. Super inexpensive. Costs like 40$ max and would make the fish a lot happier.

Aquaponics is so interesting

I believe that works just fine! Yes please do an update on your project. Would like to see the progress! Btw you don't need the toothpicks if you have gravel on the avocado! The reason why people use toothpicks bcuz they use just water instead of gravel. and toothpicks helps it not sink into the bottom. but being you got gravel which supporting it above the water. So you no longer need it anymore!

I'm still new to this , but I've seen a wide variety of plants grown this way. I'm currently having great success with avacado trees in this same system. They have grown from seed to about 3 feet tall in about 4 to 5 months. I'm planing to create a much larger version of this soon. I've acquired some 275 gallon IBC tanks too use as reservoirs in the system. Stay tuned.

Thank you so so so much!

Thanks I’m doing this next month

What I learned from aquaponics, is that, plants love ammonia, so it MIGHT be okay that you didn't cycle the tank, as long as you always have some matured plants (emersed, emersed plants do better at filtering because they have better access to CO2) to provide filtration, but I also learned that fish waste is not actually the perfect plant food. There will always be an excess of nitrates when compared to other nutrients. The aquaponics farmer compensated for this by decomposing fish food in a separate compartment in the system. He also added a denitrification filter. Look up Denitrification Discussion Freshwater Aquarium to learn more about that. It's weird. I think the water flowing thru the filter has to stay below 50gph and they were using a ORP meter to make sure they were truly degassing the nitrogen and not producing laughing gas instead. It involves anaerobic bacteria, as opposed to aerobic bacteria in the typical nitrification aquarium bio-filters.

Hi. I like the system. Just advice how to adjust pH

Plants will absorb fish waste, but it must be converted into nitrates by bacteria. This tanks needs a filter for the bacteria to grow on which converts ammonia to nitrites, then to nitrates. It also should be set up without fish for at least a week or two before fish are added to grow the bacteria and prevent toxic ammonia buildup

Chloe Ace to answer your question I have started plants three different ways now. I have started them in rockwool which is commonly used in Hydroponics and aquaponics. I have started them using the paper towel method where you place the seeds inside of a plastic Ziploc type bag with a wet paper towel in a dark cool place. I have also started seeds in vermiculite. After doing all of these methods my favorite and the one I will continue using is starting them in vermiculite. You need a seed tray and you can all of the spaces with vermiculite. Then sprinkle the seeds that you want to plant on top of each space. Then you can take a toothpick and stir the seeds into the vermiculite so that they are the approximate depth they are supposed to be for planting. I usually leave one empty whole or spot in the tray in which to pour my water through. I add water to the tray from my aquaponics system and the vermiculite soaks it up and becomes very well saturated around the seeds creating a moist Zone ideal for germination. I then place the tray on top of a warming mat underneath a grow light indoors. Once the seedlings get a couple inches tall, I transplant them from the vermiculite into net pots with clay media. Vermiculite shakes off of The Roots very easily like sand. You can replant more and more seeds in the same vermiculite in that tray almost indefinitely. You may have to top off with more water from your system from time to time as needed. On larger seeds such as avocados, they can be placed directly in the clay media. you want the seed half submerged in water

Get some plants or something inside the tank so that the fish feel safer. The better those fish are cared for, the more they will eat and help your plants. A little bit of driftwood should be in there too because the plecostomus needs to rasp on it for fiber.

Idea is good. But some improvement may be needed. Plants can only take the inorganic material through the roots. The aquarium tank will need microorganism to decompose the fish waste before the plants to take up. The fish need the gentle flow current rather than in the constant bubbling condition.

FYI for ppl who do not have a heat gun, light a candle and heat the tip of a screw driver or drill bit.

Dr. Arun S Son my fish did fine with the plants that I added. Try and choose a type of fish that doesn't eat the roots of your plants. I will say the plants I started as seeds or Sprouts in the system did better than the fully established plants that were transplanted from soil. Throwing some what mature plants into a system that is brand new you kind of deprived the mature plants from adequate nutrients at first. Small plants starting as Sprouts or seeds don't require that much nutrients and can grow with the fish. That's just some advice from my experience so far.
