Dufflight's System

" Those are going to be some happy plants ! ".....

Or they will be dead ones. I kept it away from the plants a bit. But am thinking it was probaby enough fert to do a big area. The rain will mix it up a little. Does give you an idea of how much waste a system will process. Before the swirl filter the gb's would of gotten the extra solids and the worms would of mineralised them.

wow, nice!

artichokes in ap, very cool.
how long did it take for the artichokes ?
i have some in reg soil, and they are very slow growers.

[dufflight]

artichokes produced fruit in less than a year. Normal in soil is 1.5yrs.

New smaller system design. Barrel on the left is a ABF that the sump feeds into. It will have 6x150\200ltr gbs.
I think the tank is 1500ltrs ish. Bell siphon or flout in the tank to control the F&D cycles and a 40mm sequencing valve to direct flow to the gb's.

Wow....your building another system ? Man, you've already got a nice size one going. I guess this aquaponics is adictive , afterall.....

I hope you treat us to some pictures as you build it.

Next one is going to be more intensive. I'd had 400ish fingerlings in a 380ltr tank for months with zero readings and was wondering how many fish I could grow out in a larger tank. I'd like to try trout or Barra but it all depends on time of year and how fast I can get it finished and cycled. The FT is now a 4500ltr rainwater tank that I unloaded today. And the original ft is now the sump, so its growing. ABF is a 200ltr olive drum if i can pump enough o2 through it.

Almost got all of the corn out of the system from the max hybrid seeds.

Nice lookin corn. I really like the macro shot.
