Thanks Rob! To anyone reading this Rob's Aquaponics guide is really good, it covers everything you need to get started and takes the guess work out, I can't recommend it enough!

My guy you make aquaponics look so easy, im new to this i dont exactly know what you would use this for but its always good to learn. Keep putting out the info we will soak up what is necessary 🎉

Good day mate . Nice to see you post a aquaponic filter system video. I know you guys have been real busy with the farm. Hope all is well.

Great info,great beard! Thank you, I'm learning so much from your videos.

glad you have done this video Bob this is something that I will be copying at some point for a smaller system I have planned. I finally made the leap into aquaponics as a school project and I have built a system with bio media and settling tanks but I utilised the bottom halfs of my ibc tanks for solids filtration and moving bed bio filter as it created a neat looking system.we have basically made 3 chop and flip beds. I was having issues with the media getting stuck in areas of the tank untill I fitted a water pump to create movement, it seems to mave worked well. each of my filter tanks are around 300l each. The thing that I noted with the solids settlement tank is that the waste drops out of suspension really efficiently without a radial flow setup. also to help with any anaerobic issues I have fitted an oxygen feed into the tank. it has been a bit of an experiment but it seems to work really well . everything is gravity fed from the fish tank to the sump. I also have connected my bio filter tank in such a way that it almost doubles the capacity of available water for my pump in the sump tank . I had an issue with my grow bed volume when flooding and draining could leave the pump dry without plumbing the system this way. it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on what I have put together. love your videos Bob and your farm looks epic

Tank uniseals, thank you!

I can't wait to start my next aquaponics setup. I lived in Hawaii when I did my last one and the weather made it very easy. I am learning more about temperate climate growing through winter and debating having a system inside a greenhouse or just finding better winter crops. (I don't like eating Kale, for example :)

You are amazing! Thanks so much

I feel like I’ve seen this video before. I use k1 micro, it flips around better, with just air. I don’t know if my biofilter is doing anything for my system, but it’s part of the cool factor for sure.

Sou do Brasil Gosto muito dos seu vídeos

Thanks for the video Rob! I’m hoping to start working on my aquaponics setup (someday 😂) and I’ve found your guide super helpful! I did have two hypothetical questions for you: first, would it be possible to recycle plastic old soda and milk bottle tops as MBBR media? I don’t imagine it would work as a 1:1 replacement but are there specific reasons why recycling something like that would not be a good idea for that application? Secondly, would it be possible to make a radial flow settler out of an IBC tote? It would be far too big for any system I would make just getting started, I just happen to have enough totes that I could eventually try that and it makes me curious. Hope you’re well, the farm really looks like it’s coming along!

👍

will all kinds of pasta work as media?

Is that a summoning dark tat from terry pratchett? Gnu STP

More like microplastic generator.. no thanks. Test produce and soil for microplastics, I'll wait.
