easy diy aquaponics download


The plan for converting our hydroponic ebb and flow system to an aquaponics NFT and ebb and flow system.

Funny that the plan continued to change throughout the process, but this is how the conversion project turned out. Ill give you the photo tour of the pieces and share what Ive learned.

The project started because we had an old hydroponic ebb and flow table (once a Marine Science Touch Tank) that we were sick of paying for overpriced nutrient solution. The story of the history behind the aquaponics conversion - Part 1

Built a NFT (Nutrient Film Transfer) system to supplement the grow beds.

The large pond we were digging, allowed for a significant amount of grow area (more than the two grow beds. We found great PVC tubes and decided to add an NFT component. We added 1/2 inch hosing and individual drip emitters (these were a bad idea-clogging). Eventually, I removed a majority of the emitters and just allowed for constant flow form the holes in the 1/2 inch hose. I just needed to help each plant get roots down into the bottom of the pvc. Because of space we stacked the PVC tubes vertically, with each draining into the one below it, and creating a cool water feature.
