I had a similar setup in my garage for a few years….. I would get a couple of the large food grade barrels and make one big filter and have all your tanks connected that way….. then all your water is more stable and easier to do maintenance as you grow.😎 I got up to a couple thousand gallons of fish at one point. I used a sump pump and gravity feed for everything except for the sump which was in the 55 gallon barrels… one full of mesh bags full of several filter materials like you are doing and then the other barrel was basically just for the sump and I had massive air bubbling going on above the sumps level so my water stayed really healthy without too much work…. I had tilapia, local caught small channel cats, bass, bluegill and sunfish…. Oh and the fish that I started with were cichlids of all different varieties. Once people find out you are into aquatic stuff, everyone and their neighbor has fish tanks to give you😂

I live in a place where the tank would freeze in the winter. How would you deal with that?

🤔️ where do you get your fish from ? Thanks!

Good video, you show the goods, get to the point, and have practical solutions that any guy can understand and relate to.

How often do you change the water now with all of the improvements?

Where did you order your plants from?

Can i get your number pls

Worm/ meal worm farm the fish food.

Never trust the government my guy we all have micro plastics in our bodys now it was all safe that wouldn't be true we are getting them from somewhere

Great job. Very nice ingenuity. Not sure where you are in your journey, but I think your current trash can filter IS large enough. Being able to switch over to more natural filter options and less man made media, your system will perform significantly better. I think it’s perfect, just perfect your media and find a good long term tank option. Thumbs up.

You can replace your filter with an aquaponic garden. Enough plants keeps the water perfectly clear with no filter.

I heard that activated charcoal helps eliminate chlorine and clean the tank too

You could cut holes into that S L O pipe about 6 inches apart and plant lettuce into it to filter more of those solid and have fresh lettuce growing

People like to say tilapia are not worth messing with but i have people wanting to buy tilapia from me already and i haven even bought the first fish

Where do you buy your mornings plant? In US

i went to dollar tree and bought their cheapest largest pillows and got polyfil for half and less the price it is at walmart lol

"If you're never going to make mistake, you'll never get started". Best life tip ever. Great vid, thank you

What is that around the pool? Is that bamboo?

No thanks

So say someone wants to amke a stream thru their property. How deep do you need to make it to raise fish?

People are right, tilapia dont taste good. Cod, Tuna, and Salmon make more money.

Find a guy who wants free fill dirt to come dig you a pond.

Use the waste to fertilize your plant..And sell it to other people.

Hi, how can I get small tilapia and cat fish for farming?

Thanks for the great video

Thanks for the video ... Do these work with low pressure systems like a rain barrel setup or do they need pressure from a pump for municipal water?

Huh... That's the exact opposite of how I make cuttings. I cut the bottom flat and the top at an angle. The angle is to keep water from sitting on it and causing "Whatever", I think people think the angle is to make it easier to stick in the dirt... Which, of course, it does, so logic does apply to some extent. 🤠👍 Time to harvest some 🌿Katuk!

Thank you so much for the video!!! Instead of tilapia, can you raise rainbow trout? Also, I saw a series of tanks once where they were all linked by pvc pike and water flowed around through all of them. Water circulation.

I just finished this job exactly as explained and i was successful! AWESOME video and thanks for allowing heat again (im from Minnesota). That said I wanted to shed some light on some things that may provide additional insights .... - make sure you solder using a fine point tip...mine was about 1mm. Not alot of space between the 3 wires. - i was able to separate the wires like the author but make sure you hold the ribbon with a pair of needle nose pliers while you gently strip off the ends,. If you omit this you could pull out the wires on the circuit board end 😮 - if i had to do this again, i would have desoldered both ends of the wire ( including the circuit board end) and replace the ribbon with Three longer wires 3" to provide More slack. If you use the resuse the existing ribbon there is little to no slack in the wires after reinstalling. - i used "desoldering wick" to remove the solder - more forgiving to use if you're a dummy like me 😢..i found this stuff st my local 'micro center ' computer store - finally, this whole problem is caused by a lose nutt that holds the switch....it allows the switch (and the soldered ends) to cant left and right... causing them to break .. make sure to keep it screwed tight!! It is accessible by pulling off the center knob.. while you are at it, do the same to the right knob as this has a similar layout.

Quick question: every time it stops the water after refilling do you have to twist the valve again and reset the system or does it keep working over and over again without you tinkering with it

I love that you have a list of topics! I love that you kept on topic, and not a lot of "filler words" Overall a great job! One thing - I'm new to everything, so checking something "Regularly" is not clear to me approx what time frame. 3 days, a week, or how often ? Not trying to make trouble. Really like this video.

Your stilling well going all the way down channels the water more cause the water flow to remain higher than needed for proper settling. One bucket should do :)

You buy the containers, you buy the pumps, you buy food, you buy water, you use electricity, you buy the baby fish...does that actually add up?? I also had to put up nets because the herons would steal all the fish in a short time. And ultimately you have 150 fish ready for slaughter... you also need a freezer. so I don't know??

If you’re worried about burning, why not make it into a tea? That way you can apply directly to the base of the plant? Granted you will probably have to do it more often, but if you have an irrigation system, you can distribute it that way as well. Just saying.

To solder heat up the wire and let it draw the solder to it.

Check out Owens EPIC Aquaponics on CZcams. He's doing what you're doing but he added a bunch of flood and drain beds after the original solids filter. That solved the problem of the finishing the filtering process. And he gets veggies & fruit from it. He has some things that could help you improve your system.

Got some from Etsy and stuck them in cactus container soil, put them outside..They all made it!

Ini untuk persendirian guyezzzz,jika untuk kolam Yang besar kena dirikan kolam berhampiran sungai/air untuk gunakan air tersebut supaya air sentiasa mengalir bertukar mengelak bau Dan ikan² sentiasa Segar Dan sihat serta jimatkan kos air kerana menggunakan air sungai sumber alam 👍🥳🎉talapia Dan Keli sedap guyezzzz,goreng pon sodap

Glad u took the plunge and started. Nice vid too, simple and informative

Where did u get that at?

🙏

Use zeolite for filtration. 😉

the cheap swimming pools get ruined by UV light. They can last much longer if protected from UV.

Can you eat them

Why do we live in a world where we watch videos from people who don’t know shit! I didn’t know I needed to cycle the tank before getting fish he says…. So he started out with no research…. Great. You think a person like that will somehow become an expert is a little time….? NO. His system still is fucked up and I’m sure he worked to make it look right for this video.

why not just build a small pond with plants it will save a lot of work and money?

I'm trying to do my research that's why I'm watching your video what size tank do I need for catfish like say I don't know 20???

What kind of plants do catfish like?

What is that you have wrapped around the pool ? Is that insulation ?

Can you feed only plants?
