G'Day Folks. In this Video we follow along a Complete Build of DIY of Aquaponics System in our back yard. Many parts were salvaged from an older system with a few new components being made fresh for this build. We set up the fish tank, create filters, plumb in the grow beds then plant them out.
DON'T forget to check out the helpful video, playlist & site links mentioned in the video. All are listed in the description.👍Those videos & links will have more in-depth explanations on the filters, fittings & parts used.
Hope you managed to get some inspiration & tips from the video.
Cheers all & HAPPY GROWING. 🐟 🌱🍅
