Can you do more of these videos 😊

[@Homeonthetools]

Absolutely

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

@@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.

@@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

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

​@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

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