How to Build an Aquaponic System - Chop & Flip IBC Build

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 เม.ย. 2016
  • Hi Folks. Have been asked MANY times over the past few years if I could post a clip on building a basic aquaponic system & have finally found the time to knock one together.
    This is a basic aquaponic system made from a recycled IBC tank that would take the average handyman a day to build & set up. The beauty of this Chop & Flip system is that it can be added to over time, after you've gotten the bug & want to grow more tasty fish & veggies in your own backyard.
    LINK TO PARTS LIST ► bit.ly/ChopAndFlipPartsList
    The cost for this build was just under AUD $240 for the tank, pump & all the required plumbing which was bought from retail stores. It would work out a fair bit cheaper if bought from wholesalers & online stores.
    The clay cost an extra AUD $150 but rock & other media would be a lot cheaper.
    Quick links to parts of the build,
    2:48 Stripping down the IBC
    3:25 Cutting up the cage
    4:05 Marking & cutting up the IBC
    6:05 Setting up the fish tank & grow beds
    11:00 Pump & plumbing into the grow bed
    14:32 Bell siphon
    20:20 Adding media to the grow bed

    Dear Rob,
    Thanks very much for this excellent instructional video. I picked up 3 ICB tanks a couple of months ago and haven't done anything with them yet so I really needed a step-by-step video so I didn't make any mistakes.
    I'll use the video every step of the construction to make my systems and I'm confident they will turn out well now - I'd have surely made a total arse of them if I'd gone into the project blind.
    I'm going to be using an air uplift for the 'pump' since I already have a decent sized outdoor air pump which should be cheaper to run compared to a pond pump (or three) but if that doesn't work I'll swap that for a submerged pump no worries.
    Keep up the good work and all the best for 2024.
    Regards,
    Richard

I've been concentrating on my greenhouse with tomatoes, peppers and sweetcorn growing on there and also on the main garden with a nation of onions and garlic which are doing great.
      I'll get around to making the aquaponics set up and it will be mostly solar powered - I'll upload any videos to my Thousand Yard Stare channel.

Saved and on my wish list!

      I finally got started chopping and flipping :) VERY excited! I have everything I need (will be switching from synthetic to an amino acid based iron chelate eventually). I have a pH meter, EC meter, testing reagents, the works!!!
      I set up a 32ft camper in an east-west orientation with the doors facing south. I constructed a large timber greenhouse on the south side and installed a wood burning stove. I just harvested my first Del Monte pineapples last summer and I even have some Dragonfruit growing in zone 5. I can't wait to get this thing all put together! Having a four season greenhouse in zone 5 is a MUST HAVE for aquaponics! I'll never need to winterize the system. Anyway - if it wasn't for you and Hallam, I wouldn't even have a greenhouse in the first place! So I just want to say thank you. You've been my inspiration :)

I am based up in Strathpine and would love to rack your brain over some beers sometime!

    Hi Rob Thanks for the practical and informative clip on starting in aquaponics. Have just completed my first chop and flip following your lead and all is going well. The plan is to add more grow beds and to convert my old garden beds into wicking ones all in good time. I have found you instructions clear and easy to follow and I know where I'll be coming for information when the time for expansion comes. Regards Konrad Newcastle NSW

    • @kandlbinder
      @kandlbinder 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Going to start with gold fish because as the system grows it will probably become a sump tank. I'll add a tank with fish for harvesting when I become more confidant all is under control.

  • @speedbuggy16v
    @speedbuggy16v 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice setup, very well, thought out, ut one point on the IBC totes, they do degrade in sunlight so paint or some other coating is important. I live in a more northern climate so until I build a greenhouse no fish for me. My system is very similar only the bottom is merely a tank for manure tea. Mine also uses potting soil, using a bell siphon and media like you are doing may well be a latter addition. As it is my intent is to simply install a timer on a pump to water on a schedule. I am not sure which is a better idea, but thank you for your video, as it gives me further ideas!

      No, not yet. I still have a few, about seven, goldfish that have survived, but I am making some changes to my aquaponics system. I'm going to wait until I am all finished with them. In the mean time, I've been using the tank water to feed my container gardens. No waste here!
