Off-Grid Aquaponics!

[@bumpsangrimez]

This type system in conjunction with algae beds for producing biofuel, plus some chickens, goats, and honey bees is what I have in mind for my church/NPO. Im glad to see it being done in the real world. Inspiring stuff.

[@diysolar6469]

Nice! Hands down for this video, nice systems and everything. Well- prepared anything. Thanks for this video.

[@Movnhorses]

Finally an attractive aquaponics system!! Great job!

[@StraitwayCanada]

This is time/life saving information.. bless all of you, Shalom from Canada!

[@yosoyelcorrido]

Great video! So far this system seems to be one of the simplest I have seen on youtube videos. Congratulations!

[@ChileExpatFamily]

I really think that it is cool that Travis did this with you.

[@wildoxidizer]

for my solar and greenhouse aquaponics system I use car parts, a windshield pump and alternator hooked to a fan motor plus a radiator and mass heater for the heating the water.

[@johnarizona3820]

Zachary, SHALOM Looks awesome brother! God bless and keep on keepin on!

[@elvieken]

There are a lot of good ideas here, some that will work well, others that will be a pain. At least you are getting in there and doing it, good luck.

[@hophopkins9873]

I love it! Very cool setup! What a great organization!

[@mattisascarfie]

Thank you for sharing! I'm doing this on a smaller scale and these ideas really helped. Good luck and carry on.

[@petergrambo]

Great video!! Trav and Don are personal friends!! I definitely support the work of FASTonline.

[@georgesantiago4043]

now you need free water source with a self sustainable ramp pump. Nice project and well done, good ideas for mine.

[@ZacharyBauerNew2Torah]

All of the tanks are food grade. The barrels are food grade. The PVC is ...well pvc which many use for water in homes.

[@FishTickler59]

Blessings brothers in Christ and THANK you

[@thomasrossetti639]

You guys are fantastic! I am an Ex-pat American who has been living in South East Asia for just about 20 years and am hoping to be in Cambodia soon. My dream is to help the people there create small Aqua systems like this to support their families and villages. They are having a tough time of it with climate challenges and their lack of knowledge on how to move into more progressive forms of farming from traditional. Just trying to raise some funds but DO plan on donating to you fellas just as soon as I can see some light. I do have some interest and have created a Crowdfunding Project. Feel like coming to Cambodia Travis ? :-) Thanks again fellas. Peace and respect. Tom

[@piketactical]

Getting ready to start my system soon. Thanks for posting, subbed

[@ZacharyBauerNew2Torah]

I simply bought one of those car ports you see sometimes on Rural roadsides. We simply didn't purchase the roof sheeting...just the frame. About $550. 18x20

[@d2008smith]

Please show the completed project. Thanks for the referral to FastOnline. I have been planning on doing this for years. I am happy to see someone who is successful at it.

[@jamieholland8951]

Can't wait to see more!

[@growownfood4310]

Thanks for sharing the information off-grid aquaponics.

[@esandquistSr]

Did an experimental aquaponics last year. More this year. Also implementing solar and wind in mixed off/on grid system... Should be a fun year..

[@MosleyGardens]

i love your system. im working on building mine and cant wait to get finished.

[@mark2ui]

Love your video you sound like a nice guy nice people helping and ive been looking at an off grid as i work away 2 weeks back a week. its going to be a challenge but i know it can be done small scale for me, the thought of chemical free organic food after tasting tomatoes from an aquaponic system they where best tomatoes ive ever tasted,grow beds waist height no bending or digging 1001 reasons to go aquaponic.

[@steveshaffar]

I love this design. I've been wrestling with using 4' x 8' x 1' gravel grow beds, but this video has pretty much sold me on the Barrelponics technology. Maybe I'll switch the large grow beds that I have over to Floating Raft. Anyway, thanks much for sharing.

[@cricketol]

remove the inverter and use a dc pump use all dc and it will use less power and your charger can manage your discharge so it wont kill your battery pack

[@ThatGuyInSD]

Nice vid. Thank you for taking the time to share. If/when I am ready to make a system I think I will do something similar.

[@Brav3SRunn3R]

One could always paint the pvc with UV protective paint to prevent BPA leaching into the system and foods

[@socore3197]

I want to donate, and download the documents but fastonline(.)org needs to be renewed, as of yesterday. Thanks for this wealth of knowledge, this will enable my family to break the bonds of this material society.

[@abeliaclissett8267]

You probably can build your garden which does not require weeding, tilling or cultivating, the spreading of fertilizer or garden compost, without any watering or irrigating; all while your vegetables yield up to 10 times the amount of veggies than plants from a dirt garden.

[@lano3196]

Please provide me that solution. Thanks for your time.

[@abeliaclissett8267]

Lan Đỗ Have a look at here to learn more: help1.info/aquaponics-easy-plan

[@collegesynewave]

Great system,thanks for sharing

[@StephenBevilacqua]

Wow what a great guy, good people

[@djadubs]

This is the best system that I have seen online. I am curious about how the start of the system is set up?

[@claytonrevie3047]

Travis is a legend.

[@yvairguy]

the fittings that have pressure behind them are glued, no pressure you really don't need glue

[@louisecross]

solar garden light would also take no electricity roadkill in a wire cage with tray underneath to collect maggots (somewhere you wont need to smell it ) for fish food Duckweed beds for fish food.

[@christmascup]

Look at all these awesome beards!

[@malachy1847]

Just thinking of a serious storage unit for your... Inverters and electrical hardware...rather than those light plastic boxes... what about an old decommissioned 'Chest Freezer' you could run your cables into and out of same in plastic flex conduit and use hole saws to cut the openings fixing rubber grommets and or silicone sealer to stop ingress of water .....lockable and less exposed to the elements...others could be sourced and could be partitioned off and used for storage ..great upload...

[@iwantosavemoney]

this so cool aquaponics and followers of God am subscribing. great video

[@gracefilipe1234]

Wonderful video. I am wanting to set up an aquaponics farm that will help those less fortunate in my community. Believing that God will make it a reality.

[@craftyam]

Great Video! My question is after the water drains into the gutter..into the fish tank, then where does it go and what is the other tank behind the fish tank? Also in the beginning...in the bottom of the blue tanks what is the black pipe?

[@stephenbutler2437]

May want to put something (tape, washers, rubber) between the pressure treated wood and the aluminuim frame as the wood will corrode the solar frames

[@YeshuamyKing53]

Totally cool!

[@mikep4216]

Great video!

[@kristynebest4042]

I love this system that you created! Would you happen to have the plans? I live in the high desert and this would be a perfect system for where we are.

[@elkhound25]

awesome video....i like that system !

[@PastorDowell]

Very good job it sounds like this man knows what he is talking about. Who is he? Have him to contact me. I am looking at doing on with a 3000 gallon Concrete Fish tank.

[@CoreyBooth33]

probably the same as does from your cups, dishware, pvc plumbing in your house, and food containers.. minimal. the thing with plastic is that it is usually sterile and safe, unless it is heated up to a certain extent, respective to the type of plastic. just like metals, glass, and ceramics/every other kind of container you might use, short of handmade natural stuff from bamboo, leaves, etc. the bacteria in the soil is probably more a threat than (quality) plastics leaching out chemicals.

[@kannondicarpo814]

yes they do.

[@joelegrand4028]

J.M. I can get the drums free, from a food grade plant. If I buy them new over $100.00 each/$500.00 for 10 half drums. So it is best if you can get food grade drums for free or at a low cost. Lumber, solar panels,pumps & greenhouse cover may cost more or less in your city, then other places.

[@YAHELOHIMGOD]

Guys, thank you so much for showing me your set-up! It'll help me out loads on mine. Have a good one!

[@othmansartawi9034]

do you use syphons? I can't see any in the grow beds? and if so , would the plants grow well with less oxygenation?

[@WellWaterBoyProducts]

Nice project, What does that solar water pump system cost? Do you have a major manual back up?

[@Goldnugget47]

Love your'e system, just getting started, would like to meet you and Travis.Do you allow visitors? Travis?

[@deancounts5620]

Try PVC pipe frame worked for me anchor into ground with rebar pounded into the ground, lots of various designs on internet for PVC greenhouses

[@beech497cw]

Awesome video!! What is the new way of setting up the system that you elude to at the end of the video?

[@mvalentinocook]

Where can i find the plans of your system to build it? How much does it cost to build? Have a BLESSED day!

[@davidyoungg]

how many leaks do you have at those joints that aint glued? Leaks is the number one main cause for a water loss in a system one fitting can lower you tank level super fast...

[@steveterry9736]

Travis - could you post on your site; this site assembly components? It is more to the scale I am looking to launch.

[@Thejred]

I notice you have My Elohim's name on your shirt... all praise be to YaHUaH...

[@steve-rr3nq]

how did you deal with the plant roots stopping up the drains of each barrel? I had to switch to a bell siphon setup to solve the problem.

[@marcelashagash5808]

Awesome

[@snapsalot]

Really nice grow man! Dont all those barrels cost a small fortune though?

[@cptcosmo]

You guys should have used pressure treated lumber. Two thumbs up, however. Thanks for the video!

[@evone56]

Damn back again ... I took a look at the pdf and it has tons of great stuff, but doesn't have the solar and all that is needed for that part of it do you have anything written down for that because that seems to be the most confusing part lol?

[@tgailwilliams]

Zach, do you still have the Aquaponics system? If you do, what are your thoughts on it now?

[@gwdaniels]

Are you using or Bell siphon to drain or the toilet flapper?

[@TheRealJoga]

Hey how would it work if, Instead of 1 drain and one water feeding pvc pipe PER each barrel, You put ONE at the very beginning which puts water in the barrel, then putting the drains width wise so theres an ebb and flow between the first barrel and the last barrel??.. Would that put too much nasty water in that first barrel?.. Thanks guys. B'H

[@normanburris7890]

i like this video. I did download the manual but the manual is not for the construction of the unit you are building in this video. do you have the plans for the build in the video?

[@gwdaniels]

just stopped the vid and saw the toilet flapper and tanks... I really can't see the advantage of all that but I'm open to learn ... so over to Travis I go

[@Joseph102169]

do you have plans on how to build this set up? I would love to duplicate it

[@terileef3330]

Link is not working for fastonline.org

[@freedomheartfarm]

awsome video,,,,im in the process of building a small 8 x 16 green hous for a aquaponics system

[@jared2325able]

can you do an update in youre aquaphonics what the out come of the entire system tnx for sharring

[@Justin-bn9mr]

How much would it cost to build all that Zach?

[@42PickleDill]

Hi...I watched your video and downloaded the Manuel that

[@ZacharyBauerNew2Torah]

Should be back up now.

[@scprepper2672]

Using barrels..... That's genious

[@CoreyBooth33]

you have a reputable resource from which you obtained this information? do you have pvc plumbing in your home? galvanized steel piping is also toxic/carcinogen, as is almost anything non-organic, depending on genetic displacements. i would like to have your resource to research for myself, if you dont mind listing it here. hydroponics involves the use of plastic and or pvc in some way or another, the question is which materials are more harmful and how much it effects the plant/fruit..

[@biancaluker6329]

I've written down the in depth Do-it-yourself aquaponics plan that all starter can simply follow.

[@biancaluker6329]

Additionally, it included helpful information for the professional, you'll discover more right here: great7.net/diy-aquaponics-system

[@adammadammson3901]

I must research this cycle of food 4 foodless area. Using fish? What types? What plants do you grow? What are input foods/chems? What is output water filled with? (Can it water plants in soil greenhouse, be recycled?) What is water need? Economics? How 2 run in winters? PS: We Christians must mission first to our own folks (called Adamites) here, before going to 3rd world others (not called "nations" if you know identities!) Some now homestead arid NM mesa wild zone (see), need food production!

[@cookoliver7200]

how about use a water driver wheel to replace the electricity

[@Shawn-Hyde]

How much of the chemicals leach from all of that plastic? does anyone know...

[@mvalentinocook]

If yes, then where can I obtain the directions?

[@Tiersmoke92555]

Cool

[@728473399]

Love the workmanship......I will donate to Travis.....where do I find the metal for the greenhouse frame? Thanks...... Fyi check out portablefarms you tube, Colle and Phyllis Davis....42 years in the aquaponic business.......God bless you!!

[@bonsiatreesseedsandplantsf4812]

Where's the best place to buy solar panels

[@coldsteelscouts]

why are you using such a small sized gravel?

[@Psychonautic6]

I am worried about plastics poisoning from the barrel to the plants to your mouth. Also same worry about the whole setup.

[@ZacharyBauerNew2Torah]

These are food grade barrels and there have been plenty of studys on the PVC pipe that show after initial water contact, there is very little contaminants that seep into the water. Always make sure your stuff is food grade.

[@Joseph102169]

where can I get the plans

[@jhudson9862]

Zachary, a post below states that you bought an 18x20 carport for your greenhouse frame. I'm sorry, that cannot be correct since it is much longer than it is wide. Would you please give us those carport dimensions again? shalom.

[@ZacharyBauerNew2Torah]

J Hudson You are correct but x2 Two of them back to back.

[@jhudson9862]

Zachary Bauer That's what I needed to know. Thank you. If you could do it all over, would you build the same size greenhouse again? I will be following in your footsteps in southwest Nebraska.

[@CoreyBooth33]

and its just that simple.. :)

[@JohnSmith-rt4bu]

*Aquaponics is not dependent on soil composition or rainfall and it doesn't require a lot of space because it does n't require soil.*

[@yahuahyahusha2462]

[@FishTickler59]

Has anyone tried raising trout in one of these?

[@b1lhidalgo840]

OK so how are the plants getting Oxygen if the barrels are not emptied once they are flooded. If they are not emptied every so often, the roots will either rot or drown or both. Also how is the system to getting rid of all the large waste solids such as fish poo and food that is not eaten ?.... B1L

Please renew 'fastonline(dot)org' if this is the website for all the tutorial and drawings. I wish to start my own aquaponics system and take it to a mass production farm. Thanks.

[@Brandon-io9yj]

it's not a good idea to mix and match different types of modules they have different voltage and amps. when you connect your modules is series to build your volts having a smaller module will restrict the max power because in series your volts will only be as high as the lowest module. So for instance the 3 silver modules are 30ocv and the black module is 23ocv that means when you connect all 4 modules each module is only going to pull out 23ocv each.
