Hi, today we will think of the possibilities to completely close the aquaponics loop. You know that I enjoy pushing the sustainable aspect of aquaponics to the extreme. I built a considerable number of aquaponics systems and I always keep a strong focus on all facets...
Let’s have a look at the efficiency of the aquaponics swirl filter In a previous article I explained you how to build a mechanical filter type swirl filter. I even offered you a step by step training available here. The aim of the swirl filter is to separate the...
Looking for an amazing looking flood and drain growbed aquaponics system? Then this video/article is for you. Here I will introduce the “Ecoflex” aquaponics system series. After years of trials on a multitude of designs I came up with a unique way of designing the...
Do you know the main difference between aquaculture and aquaponics? Intensive aquaculture and aquaponics are 2 fish production techniques. However, in aquaponics we use the waste of the fish as the source of food of a whole ecosystem and we also produce plants. Hence,...
If you are new to aquaponics, you may wonder how long to run the water pump for? The water pump of an aquaponics system is similar to the heart of the body. It will distribute the water to the different parts of the system. By doing so, it feeds the leaving creatures....
Make sure you use the best way to maintain a good oxygen level in your aquaponics system. As human, we breathe and consume the oxygen contained into the air. Furthermore, the more exercise we do and the more oxygen we need. Indeed, most living creatures also need to...
Let’s discuss cold water aquaponics 🙂 If you live in a “cold country” you may wonder if aquaponics is possible. It is a very legitimate question as when we talk about aquaponics we often talk about tropical fish such as tilapia and barramundi. We know for fact...
Today we are visiting Paul who built an hybrid aquaponics system on the side of his house. Today we are visiting Paul who built an aquaponics system on the side of his house. Even if the surface is very limited but Paul is still able to grow a nice quantity of food....
In flood and drain aquaponics, one part of the maintenance consist of cleaning the grow-bed. Let’s see why and how to clean and maintain the aquaponics grow-bed. Why should we clean clean the aquaponics grow-bed? When you start aquaponics there is generally a 6...
Let’s talk Feed Conversion Ratio FCR In Aquaponics the aim is to produce food with the minimum quantity of resources possible. The fish food is a key factor and lots of research are currently undertaken to produce the fish food locally. Insect production can...
