Absolutely brilliant!! This will get a lot of people started in aquaponics who might otherwise not have the confidence, the money, or the space to begin. An elegant design, that makes use of readily available materials also. Well done!
Love the simplicity, its so interesting how a good idea can now spread around the world by video, this would be understandable, even if the viewer could not speak English.
hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about aquaponic systems plans pdf try Proutklarton Surviving Instruction Plan ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
This would be worth a re do with out the back ground noise (in your house?) And put fish in the bottom for nutrients. But still the idea is wonderful!!!
I have started making one in a deep purple! this is wonderful! We live in the north were in the winter I miss my garden. We are working on getting a large system going however I can wait and this one is perfect! You are a blessing for sharing this thank you.
Vinil I have seen a lot of mini systems that people put on kick starter and other areas that I know are bound for failure. I have to say I really like this one. especially because of the economics of it. I saw a kickstarter the other day that was nothing more than a mason jar with a net pot in it. They were selling for $40 a piece. great job. Just subd
Sometimes new products are just good advertising or packaging. Eg, there is a particular item in gardening that is $10-20, depending on the size you need, but you could solve the same problem by filling up your large pots with empty plastic bottles. Same end result of keeping your large pots light and not having to fill the entire thing with potting soil.
This is a really great idea for a small space. Whats really nice is that is looks really nice and most people would not know it was diy. Thanks for sharing your idea!
Hi Vinil, I was just setting up a mini aquaponics system when I came across your great video. I will change the fish tank from a box to your practical round water bottle system. I love the simplicity of the construction and the easiness to find all components. Thank you so much for sharing, your video is still useful after several years :)
This is fantastic! I've been watching aquaponics videos trying to find a home system I could make. This is the first one I've found that clearly showed how to make it. Thank you Vinil you did a great job!
Dear Vinil, Thank you so much for most simplified demonstration on Aquaponics system. With this simplified method one can learn a lot and it is very helpful to understand the system and always we can learn how to expand this into a larger scale. I look forward to learn more from you. Once again Thank You So Much.
... oh dear, you are so wonderful to take the time and patience to teach, in such a simple manner, such a valuable lesson - God Bless You so much... I am going to try this right away . . .
Hi Vinil, this is a GREAT SIMPLE idea. I am unable to get these empty bottles but I am sure I can get something similar. Fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to show us. Thank you very much. Kindest Regards. pj
Ideally you should run the system for a day or two without adding fish. After a day or two you can add fish and let it run for a week 10 days before you can start putting in you seeds. Since this system is small in size .. it would take atleast 8 weeks before you can see the results of cycling
Federico Blasi Great observation ... One month is also workable .. one just need to watch out for mosquito breading. This is one of the reason i add fish in a few days from setting up the system. But the nitrification cycle will take 8 weeks atleast.
+vinil ratnakaran Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about aquaponics at home try Tarbetti Amazing Aquaponics Tutor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
***** hello .. welcome to india... its a great idea you working with school. The water can is generally called 25liter water can .. and brands like bisleri, aquafina, kinley, kingfisher and many more make them.. You should get them at the nearest departmental store .. or you can get them on justdial.com .. Hope this helps .. let me know if you have any more doubts.
Simple enough for beginners and small enough to make a few. All I need is a mini solar power back up and it can go outside with container plants. Th♡nks for uploading..best one I've seen on a smaller scale- And you didn't bore me to death.
This is a clever design. I think I would modify it to draw almost 1/2 the amount of water into a cup/2ltr bottle that tips over & floods the entire grow bed every 15 minutes (like an ebb & flow.) so that the water could be cycled 2 times in an hour. (If you did this, you could run it off of a deep cycle battery at night, and a solar cell during the day.) Very neat idea. Thank you for sharing this.
Sounds good Derek Miller, Do share some images of your development. I am also working on a few variations for the same system. Will put up videos as soon as they are ready.
New subscriber now! Thanks for showing a DYI method for aquaponics. I am researching and attempting to design a small system soon. I grow hot peppers and other vegetables on my channel. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
If you want the best aquaponics system online then go here now: AquaSystem.xyz I don't know about the rest of the fish, but the temperature range for tilapia are way off. I keep mine at 80-85F. Never below 55F
Two Quick questions: 1)Are you running your pump 24/7 or have you kept it on a timer, for example, On for 15 mins and Off for 45 and so on? 2) How often are you are you feeding your fish and what has been your preference of fish (Gold Fish)? Thank you and super impressed by your creativity!
This is one of the best videos I've seen in Aquaponics! Thank you for this tutorial! : ) By the way, what kind of paint did you use, enamel, oil or acrylic paint?
+DiggingThis For this one i used Aerosol based spray can.. (one can use any outdoor based paint) .. but i did not spray it on areas which are in contact with the water. Basically the Growbed is painted from the outside.
vinil ratnakaran can you please update everything you said in text in the description I find it hard to hear you with all the background noise please and thank you
You sir, just earned yourself a new subscriber. I am gonna share your video to the whole world. Thank you for your brilliant idea which is cost effective and this is going to help lots of people. Thank you, great job and God bless!
Hello, Can you provide a list of materials used? It's a great system, just difficult to understand certain parts due to the background noise. Would be SO helpful. Thanks!
Yes, I just came about this video today and I fell in love with it, but would appreciate it more with the list, altho I could tell about the refill can, submersible pump, hydroton grow media, but will like to see your list sir... Thanks.
Freaking brilliant man...sooooo gonna try it!!! Thanks for sharing. Currently setting up a medium aquaponics system merging IBC with PVC rails and will later add DWC and flood and drain as I continue to experiment.
Greetings Vinil. I just want to say thank you. This is awesome. I am curious to know what you use to make the top black as well as the black trimmings?
Adisa Moswen-Harkless Hello, greetings, I have used a matte aerosol spray can. And i have used the outside surface to coat the paint. Letf the inside surface un-painted. For the trimmings i used a masking tape to get a clean finish. Hope this helps.
Thank you sir. You are a genius.. I look forward to maybe seeing an actually step by step video that gives far more details. I mean I have an idea just amazed at how smooth and nicely done yours look compared to one I attempted.. lol Thanks Vinil.
Adisa Moswen-Harkless If you are planning on building an Aquaponic system for your backyard or organic garden, then you need to know the about home Aquaponic requirements. Learning them before you start will help you avoid any issues during the time of building your Aquaponics system. Check out => easydiy-aquaponics.blogspot.com/
+Yeshwanth Naidu Aquaponics is a special style of farming, where instead of growing plants in soil, you grow them in manured water and gravel. I've seen people also use clay balls for that.
+Yeshwanth Naidu Those clay pebbles are called LECA (light Expanded Clay Aggregate) also knows as Hydroton. Very porous and has a lot of surface area where the bacteria can colonize.
+Yeshwanth Naidu Plants does not require mud ... plants need only 3 things to grow 1, sunlight. 2 nutrients and 3 water. Plants take up nutrients that are dissolved in water. If you supply nutrients and sunlight then the grow media (mud or gravel) is only to hold the plant upright. However in Aquaponics mud will not work as it will reduce the water flow and the system will fail.
Genius! Best in all I had seen so far. Design is perfect! Thank you so much. I've been looking for something small really; because, i have no space. I wish you all the luck in your family and career! It was really a Big Wow!
I absolutely love this and plan on using this as my first aquaponic garden. Something fun to do with my daughter as well Thank you for this great idea! and thank you for actually going step by step rather than just pointing your camera at a system! lol

Best self start mini system ive seen. And ive probably seen damn near all the youtube videos on aquaponic systems. Great job

Looks really neat
I recently made one of these little mini-ponics systems. I haven't added my fish yet as I want to put filtered aquarium water in it. I am hoping to be able to get some water out of a filter from a freshwater tropical fish tank from a local aquarist or pet store. This will boost the system and shorten the cycling start up time from what I have read. I used pea gravel I had on hand for the growing media. I think I will grow some greens in it for a nice snack salad.
Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Sounds good ...adding water from an existing aquarium will definitely help. post some pics of your build if possible.
I've watched this video more than a year ago, but now, since I'm getting a new fish tank soon, (around 4ft) I wanted to try aquaponics..
