🙂 Aquaponics System Build - BEST Time Lapse Video! 🙂

[@parttyaddict45]

Now if only we can have these in all our schools to teach and provide, probably in much bigger scail to provide enough healthy and clean food for students

[@thehealthawakening]

Yup, it's a process!

[@swerber]

I was so excited when I saw the notification about this video, had to get right over and watch it. Incredible work, wonderful video. Always look forward to updates from this channel.

[@thehealthawakening]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@melaybol-anon3173]

Soo nice to watch your video.. Full watch jere..

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@MrWackozacko]

Brilliant build mate very clean, strong and well thought out. 2 pieces of information you might find useful - volcanic rock if you have access to it or clay balls have twice the surface area and half the weight. And Jebao DC pump, very efficient W/lph. Slap a solar panel/charge controller and one of those pumps and it'll be totally power independent, no need for grid power.

[@thehealthawakening]

Being in Honduras, we are very limited on the media that we can use. Thank you for the suggestions.

Hello watching from Vietnam thanks for sharing video

[@thehealthawakening]

My please! Thank you for watching!

[@williamwagner]

Great job Shawn.

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you so much!

[@jensbjorkqvist6634]

One of the best builds i have seen, thou I would love to have an union on pipe of the pump. If maintenance is required :)

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you so much!

[@luismercado9085]

eres genial

[@thehealthawakening]

Thanks

[@laurenceklunder]

great to see ! and hope to see how many fish can be in 1 tank and 4 beds how many CM fish can go in that tank? of 1000 Liters

[@thehealthawakening]

approximately 64 tilapia

[@tyebeach]

Gorgeous setup!

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you very much!

[@AbdusSattar-pk2cg]

Nice

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you!

[@vizud1884]

Thank you, I’m really interested in start up a Aquaponic system, but I want to take it to another level of sustainability, I mean I want the Aquaponic, but also introduce egg production (chicken) worm production (to feed the chicken). I don’t know if I make my self to understand. Hope you can help

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you, I wish you the best!

[@dorothyore4394]

I like theaquaponic system but I live in a small apartment. I would like to talk to you about the moringa plant leaves or powder. I know you grow a lot of trees and give away to friends. I desperately want to buy powder in capsules. I saw your video how you process. I trust you. Please I'm struggling with serious diseases and desperate. Thank you.

[@thehealthawakening]

Sorry, I no longer have access to moringa powder. I have moved away from the house that had the moringa tree.

[@angeloherrera9883]

I guees stronger design of nursery ...for the philippines..i live north 1oo kilometers from manila....i have a small farm on top of the mountains with a promising weather...just two hurdles im facing one is the typhoon 2 is the 30day rain....i believe aquaponics is perfect....based on my study of my area...i will keep you posted on my progress....

[@thehealthawakening]

Please do, would love to hear more so of your efforts.

[@1LifeOnLine]

the sump tank could be higher which would make it more power efficient? it seems like it is overly low, or is that for the ground heat?

[@thehealthawakening]

Thank you for your comment, but there is nothing wrong with the position of the sump pit. The key is to get a pump with the right head pressure. Due to the heat in Honduras, we need to have ways in cooling the water as much as possible.

[@MrWackozacko]

In other words, he totally agrees with you... You are correct though, extra height of water is extra work, extra work costs extra energy. Beautiful build but otherwise

[@peixeiro0]

good!!!!

[@thehealthawakening]

Thanks!!

[@bhara329]

Hello shawn, iam wondering how many fish you can put in each tank?

[@thehealthawakening]

In each tank I try to keep around 60 fish. Bear in mind this is tilapia, every fish species has its own stock density. Also, you can only stock your fish tanks according to the size of your grow beds.

[@jayashankar6624]

Hi sir you have explained well sir but please tell me how to calculate bio ball and what type of motors are used and please show in slow way construction of aquaponics system

[@thehealthawakening]

Well, I didn't calculate the bio ball, I just filled up the bio filter with them. Many people don't even use bio filter for a system such as mine due to the grow media in the grow beds. I like to do an overkill on everything. More biological surface area for bacteria growth, all the better. Also, it keeps my grow beds cleaner. I have other videos for a slower process in the building process. Also, you can purchase my instructional videos on my website at www.morningstaraquaponics.com

[@samuelchrist9865]

Superb.. How many litre fish Thank? And the size of each bed?

[@thehealthawakening]

It's 275 gallons, they are about 44"x48"

[@samuelchrist9865]

@@thehealthawakening thank you

[@samuelchrist9865]

Sorry to ask you one more question... How many fish in 275 gallon tank for 4 media bed (44"×48")?

[@srenkuhle7580]

Hi Shawn. Bought your E-book and is using it for inspiration. Guess you can say that I am making a half version of this one (1 fishtank, 4 growbeds). I decided to go with flood and drain (Bell siphons) instead of continous drain. But I was wondering why you are not using bell siphon on this setup. Could you elaborate..

[@thehealthawakening]

Awesome! Thank you for the purchase. I offered both methodologies. It's really your preference. Many will argue there is no difference as in plant production.

[@anthonymattouk7439]

Hello Shawn. Very nice system. I am thinking of doing something similar. I will buy your book. Can you please tell us what type of paint you used fo the IBC tank?

[@thehealthawakening]

I sand the plastic barrels and ibc totes with a heavy grit sandpaper. Then primed with latex exterior primer and then used a latex exterior flat paint. It's not a perfect solution, but it's the best we can do in Honduras.

[@_sir.jeremy]

Hello, the link to the book does not seem to work. Could you please help me?

[@thehealthawakening]

morningstaraquaponics.com thank you

[@byronwooten5092]

My catfish won’t eat the soldier fly larva. Any idea why not?

[@thehealthawakening]

Sorry, I can't help you there.

[@CrescentTropicals]

Hello Mr. Shawn. What was the cost of sourcing materials and building this system in US dollars? -Thank you.

[@thehealthawakening]

The system itself would be around $1800 USD and the Greenhouse included, $3000 (but we bought the shade cloth here, I don't know the US prices. It's very expensive here.)

[@CrescentTropicals]

Thank you for the response. I was curious as I want to setup a system like this in India for an orphanage where I served. Not only aquaponics but in conjunction with black soldier fly rearing to feed the fish.

[@thehealthawakening]

Great combination!

[@Juanarango96]

Is this an aquaponic or hydroponic? Cause I don't see the fish. And the same setup could be used for hydroponics?

[@thehealthawakening]

It is aquaponics. There are two way to start a system with fish or fishless. We started it fishless. It's a starter pack you can buy online that has the ammonia and bacteria to begin developing the nitrification process.

[@Juanarango96]

@@thehealthawakening Where can I buy this setup?

[@thehealthawakening]

You would have to build it yourself. The complete instructions is on this website: www.morningstaraquaponics.com It comes in an Ebook that you can download.

[@johngray429]

what material did u use for ur roof?

[@thehealthawakening]

We used shade cloth on the whole entire greenhouse.

[@angeloherrera9883]

Y only worry is typhoon proof?

We don't get typhoons, no need to do so. 🙂
