My Tomato Aquaponics system

Hi Willem,

Is this system of your's still going, it is SO awesome!

 

Hi @Pearly thanks and yes it's still going

 

Got one pic for the update on the system.

 

Looking good Willem! :top:

One question I have: Do you do any form of pest control, or not at all?

 

At this stage i take worms of manually but I am making a garlic and chilly mix that I will be using

 

Some update pics

I put some covering over the system cause the cold is starting to kill the flowers.

 

Looking good - I was actually considering bubble wrap ... different diffusion and wondering if a sandwich with what you have and the bubble wrap will reduce drastic temperature fluctuation.

Later Ferdie

 

Hi Ferdie

Yes it would work the only problem with bubble wrap it's not very strong and the wind will take it away in a flash, I'm actually looking for a polycarb product that is double layered Makro sells small green houses made out of it.

 

Yeah - I would love to get an affordable source of Duroplastic | Multilite ...

 

@f-fish Did you find out what they charge for a 4mm sheet??

 

Not directly, but will be giving them a call during the week. .

I even like the ideas at Durobuild

 

Ah not sure if this is the 4mm one ...

Jip that's the one on that price its gona cost me +- 3000 just to close the top.

 

Yeah -that is why I was thinking bubble wrap under the current sheet you have.

 

What an impressive system! Is it still up and running?

 

+1 it looks amazing!!

 

Great post and impressive system!
I am planning on building one myself and have a few questions:
Do you use continuous flow for the tomatoes or a bell siphon that creates ebb and flow effect?
What kind of tilapia do you keep and do you heat your fish tank in winter?
