Cheers all & have a top one. 🐟 🌱🍅
Rob
I put in an order. Thanks Rob and Hamish🍺🍺
I followed Rob for ages. Ran 1000 lt tanks, filters, beds,etc. gave it away recently after couple of years. I work full time and couldn’t manage it all. Had lot problems with siphons and pumps balancing so all siphons worked all time. I want to say when you HAVE GOOD WATER QUALITY ( which isn’t easy without testing) the veges WERE AWESOME! And GREW FAST! Bear in mind this growing method needs TIME . If you have time issues youl run into problems. I’m back to soil growing.it’s slow but easier….thanks rob. Maybe when I’m retired…
At least you had a crack mate. 👍
Good to hear you're still growing your own.
Have you tried growing in wicking beds? They can be a great time & water saver & are how we're going to be setting up the beds here on the farm.
Cheers & have a top one.
I really enjoy seeing your tours of other peoples aquaponics systems. Keep up the good work mate.
Cheers Mark. Let me know when you want to have that chat about your system. 👍👍
Thanks for everyone 😅
😁👍
Aquaponics makes so much sense.
I think so. 👍
Cheers Sue.
GRATITUDE 💥🐟💥
Cheers Brandon. 👍
Yay another video wooohoo
What a dream setup! Only thing I would think about adding to my own would be some PVC ends in the bottom of the fish tank covered with some eggcrate for a nice supply of crawdads for cleanup crew and dinner! ^_^!
Go to be careful with the jades used in this system as that love feasting on yabbies / crawdads. 😉
Do you have a system on the go GG?
Cheers.
Fantastic
It is a cracker of a system.
Cheers mate.
Thanks for the plug, guys!
Our pleasure Andy. 😁
Very clean and well organized setup! It's always great to see fellow farmers nerding out :)
Glad you enjoyed it NWF. There's 2 more systems I'd like to film soon that should give folks a few ideas to contemplate while designing their own builds. .
@@RobsAquaponics always a pleasure, looking forward to them!
A clean and organized setup!
H is really good at planning & designing from what I've seen around his farm. We didn't mention some of the other projects like their cooking oil powered Ute/truck. That in itself would make for a great video.
What a awesome set up,I'm extremely jealous.
You and me both TG. 😁 The fingerling system H has planned will be an interesting build as well I think.
great setup👍💪
H did a great job with this build. 👍
Yep...+1 to "kept aquaponics alive"
That’s a great setup. Jealous much🍺🍺
It really is DUF. He has another system to run next to this one to serve as a grow out tank for fingerlings. Looking forward to see how H sets that up too.
Cheers mate.
cool setup H
Glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍
Thankyou absolutely brilliant
I just found your channel and I’m so excited to go through all your helpful videos! God bless you, Sir, with a long healthy life. Prayers for Australia from Victoria, Texas ❤️
Wow, awesome set up thanks for the vid 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate. I had a chat to the bloke you sold your system to the other week. Am hoping to visit it at some point on a trip back down to Ippy.
Hope all's well with you.
Thank you man❤😊
No problem. 👍
Have a top one.
Hermoso todo Rob! increible las posibilidades de componentes que tienen, en Argentina aun no conseguimos uniones uniseal, difusores, bombas de agua y de aire, uniones de goma como tienen en esos caños, me encanta, ojala podamos replicar esas cosas tan lindas que haces tu. fuerte abrazo! saludos
Great video, love these walk throughs. The black soldier fly contraption looks amazing.
Thanks. Hope to do a few more very soon.
Great set up looks so organised
H has done a fantastic job. He puts a LOAD of research, effort & time into his projects & I really respect him for that.
Awesome video
Covered answers to questions that I had.
His setup is simple
Looking forward to learn more
Glad it was helpful Eric. I will be going back to have another gander down the road.
Great setup buddy 😊
Thanks 👍
Hey Rob,
Great to watch you again, been missing your great hydroponic videos.
Hope you and Bianca are loving your knew patch.
Best to you and yours
Thanks Howie.
Still settling in here but have 95% of the aquaponics gear up here. We're in the design phase here for zone 2 which will be where we have the gardens, aquaponics & chickens. I am thinking about building a small hydroponic system very soon jus to get some greens on the grow.
Hope you & yours are doing well too. 👍
A very very nice and impressive system, well done 👍 Here in the Netherlands we had a couple of frosty nights with -7C. Part of the pond was frozen but I kept the pump and the growbeds running without any problems at all. Made a video about it.
Cheers mate. Will suss it out when I finish catching up here.
Hope things are stating to warm up a bit for you.
Something that has bothered me for awhile, my understanding is the idea is to use the fish dropping to fertilize and feed your plants, but you have solids filter before it gets to your plants
Hello Rob
That's a great set up ill be setting up a very similar system soon.
You have actually seen it before i recently brought the yardina community garden center setup.
Could you kindly ask were he got his greenhouse.
This is amazing🎉🎉🎉 such a good job. We love it. Are we able to send you some gear to use? We can send you some natural pH or kelp? Trimmer? CO2? ❤
ditch the ACO's for the Resun LP-100's @5:59 not only do they use 1/3 of the power but actually flow at their rated flows the air pumps you have their are with no back pressure also I would not be using plastic check valves I have had them fail during heat waves
Resun are great pumps ,I have the same air pump as Hamish but probably twice the size running 50 tanks and 20 ponds through 100 metres of pipe and 20 metres of air hose and I still have plenty of pressure...but I am going to check on power usage I might have to change my pump👍🏻
Cheers Christopher, shall pass that on to H. 👍👍
Might look at upgrading myself.....
Question-- why does not all the filtered water go to the grow beds first and than back to the fish tank? Seems like grow beds would clean out water more for fish and get more nutrients to plants.
That's sone way to do it. 👍The beds can get clogged up over time with solids which can cause issues with plant & fish health. It all really comes down to stocking rate with the fish & the amount of feed given to them.
BTW, processing the solids waste through a mineraliser can unlock more nutrients that letting them sit in grow beds if done correctly.
Cheers Thad.
Heya Rob. Greatings from Mexico.
I would love a video dealing with detecting low nutrients in a system and safe ways to add those nutrients with possible links to where to get those nutrients.
Thank you sir.
Hey David. I have covered identifying the main deficiencies a few times but not in a dedicated video. This one may help a bit when it comes to additives I use,
czcams.com/video/n5mZettNMrY/video.html
Once I get a system up & going again I will be doing a video on the subject.
fry save model?
i am curious what ppm are aquaponics growers water sitting at these days.
Do you mean nitrate ppm mate?
Hi❤❤❤
👋 Hi Dr Rahila. 👋
@@RobsAquaponics how are you
@@drrahilakurdi5943 Well thanks. Yourself?
Where might I find plans and instructions for a setup like this?
Tyfs!
Actually Rob sells a ebook for beginners and it would be not too much trouble to design one with all the knowledge from the ebook
I do have an online beginners guide,
bit.ly/AquaponicsBeginnersGuide
As well as a LOAD of videos on CZcams that may give you a hand at building your own.

What do the fish do alday, is there a way of setting up one of these systems where you can provide a good life for the fish instead of just an empty plastic container, cant you set up a enviroment where they can flourish and have a decent life apart from eat poop and then swim 2 foot and back again....
I have thought about providing them with little bicycles to ride around on.
Fish watch TV? Or crack cobalt for Lithium batteries perhaps? Perhaps BEZOS can call on them for AWS Mechanical Turk? In the wild they are striving to find food and avoid being eaten - I guess there isn't an equivalent of pasture raised fish....
@@NaughtyGoatFarm😂👍🍺🍺
Bigger ponds and more fish is about all you can do my friend...
I mean, they're fish. I don't think they have the capability to understand that sort of thing.
I am looking for your product. Give me a message. When I post this, I am looking for More information on this. Looking at this build . Want to build off-grid grow on food .
I have an online guide if you're interested,
