    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.

    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!

    • @RobsAquaponics
      @RobsAquaponics 3 дні тому

      Hey Jeremy. Bottle tops have been used but they don't stay as buoyant as the proper media. I have seen them used in a trickle type bio filter where the water runs over the top of them to be collected at the base & sent out to the next component. They also collect a good deal of solids in that situation & need a good clean regularly. I've also seen IBC's used as solids settlers, mainly set up with stilling baffles in them rather than as up flow settlers like the RFS. They would take a fair bit to clean out I would think. Thanks mate & have a great one. 😁👍

  • @MultiBruce3
    @MultiBruce3 3 дні тому

    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

    • @RobsAquaponics
      @RobsAquaponics 3 дні тому

      Hey Michael. Sounds like an interesting system. Any chance of you doing a tour video for me to suss out? 😁 I had a vacant drum at the end of my RFS & Bio return to the sump on a previous build & found that it acted as a settler tank for fine solids that made it through the other filters. Cheers & have a top one.

    Hi Rob & Bianca First time poster on your channel i have been following you on and off since about 2012 or 13. I Live just down rd from your old house in ippy and also travel up to GinGin every now and then to visit I also was trying to choose a course between Dr Elain Ingham and Matt Powers but each have their advantages and disadvantages. I currently really want to learn about microscopy and permaculture before we purchase our lifestyle block later or earlier next year Dr Elain Ingham seems to cover all of what I want to learn. And her course has a big discount at moment but still bit expensive for me and i think it ran out this week. Matt Powers microscopy side looks good and seems to go into great depth. But his course is currently closed until next year but not as expensive as Dr Elaine But also in the mix is Aussie Pommy guy Geoff Lawton who learnt off Bill Mollison and David Holmgren (considered fathers of permaculture) has a course that still has access for another month and also more reasonably priced (first course in 2 years he has run) but i dont think he does microscopy or if he does i have not found that out. But might be worth a look for you situation. Might see you in there.

Sure, aquaponics content is why I found your channel in the first place, but seeing you both getting your place on it's feet and sorting things out has been just as informative and entertaining, and it's showing your viewers what it really takes to make things work.

    It is unbelievable how people complain that you aren’t doing what they want. It is plain to see in your updates just how much you have done and have yet to do. People need to just realise that these things take time. It is good to sit back occasionally and just acknowledge all the stuff you have done. I have found that helps put things in perspective when you feel like you aren’t getting much done.
