Thanks for watching

[@manjaribaskaran2374]

can you please include where you bought the poly pipe kit link it does not show up on ebay

[@bigpapaharis4588]

Can you do more of these videos 😊

[@Homeonthetools]

Absolutely

[@ohpeopleofthebook6679]

hi you said you put the link for the pipes from Ebay, where can i find it?

[@Homeonthetools]

Hi there Here is a link to an ibc kit, I would however just get each piece from your local hardware to save a few dollars in hindsight, good luck with your build and thanks for watching www.ebay.com.au/itm/176031802770?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=15xBnhx1T4y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ZugeExdyRGa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Very nicely done. Unless I missed it, I don't see the link for the plumbing fittings. Could you provide that? Also, did you buy a prefab siphon drain? If so, is it the same link? If not, would you provide that also. I also see that you did not set up a filter system which I understand is fine if your operation is small. Do you plan on adding a filter system later? I think you did an overall great job of explaining and filming. I hope you continue to add content.

Thanks for the sub, here is the link for the siphon and fitting www.ebay.com.au/itm/194619774173?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=RSV2-BCzQyu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ZugeExdyRGa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Could easily make this yourself after doing some research. With the filter system I plan on doing an upgrade soon and will post that vid up also, thanks for the feedback

[@kmparadice6254]

@@Homeonthetools thanks for getting back to me. I just checked the link and the cost for those items would be US$72 and that sounds a little on the expensive side to me. I had previously considered making my own which I will probably do now. I just thought if the price was right, I might buy it, but I think that is too expensive for me.

[@Homeonthetools]

@@kmparadice6254 definitely make yourself, reckon it would cost half that, it is a pretty basic and in hindsight I would have made from scratch

Hello, nice video and build. I have a question. Assuming you can use it for edible fish, isnt the space (between grow bed and tank) limited for larger fish, catching with net etc? Cheers!!

[@Homeonthetools]

Thanks, Absolutely can use this for edible fish, I currently have some on order, good call on the space being limited to get out larger fish, I have actually already cut the opening up a bit larger to compensate at the front(worked this out when I went to put some plants in the bottom tank) thanks for the feedback

[@Raptorkills33]

How many liters did it take to fill the top with the clay balls?

[@Homeonthetools]

Hey mate, I used 5 x 45L bags, NOT a cheap exercise that’s for sure

[@pon-vq6fo]

​@Homeonthetools what's the cheapest hydro medium to use? Can't you just use rocks?

[@Homeonthetools]

@pon-vq6fo you can use rocks just need to be mindful of the weight, this setup is pretty solid, if using rocks I would not fill all the way up

[@SethHenigman]

Do you find it difficult to access the fish part of this? Doesn't look like you really even have enough room to fit a net through to catch one. I like the design, I just want to be sure it's practical, don't you have to be able to wash the fish tank from time to time?

[@Homeonthetools]

Since making this video I have made an access point at the front by cutting out some of the IBC lower frame and plastic, it does reduce the water level by maybe 20cm but I have much better access to feed the fish and do maintenance etc, I haven’t needed to clean the tank over a year on, it seems to stay pretty clean, I also have water plants in there which I think helps

[@MrOntorius]

I know one thing... I'm definitely not using those expensive azz clay pebbles that pricing is ridiculous
