Using Fish-waste and Tank-lighting to produce veggies

Hey Guys

Thought ya'll would be interested in this.


This is cylindrical aquarium that filters the fish waste into a seperate container, that feeds the vegatables that are growing under the light of the aquarium!
Quite Clever hey!!



The Youtube video is available here:

ENJOY!!

 

@ryanj252 - Clever, but now your fish go around and around and around :sick:. I would get tired of chasing my own butt. :bigsmile:

 

Theres a term for that..... ? Aquaponics

 

i wouldn't eat that lettuce esp if i see ornamental fish in the tank

 

Why not? Disease?

 

Hahaha @BigFish! So you say you wouldnt eat carrots, fertilized with manure when you see the horses and cows trotting past?

 

Carrots juice i love until the juice machine packed in. Manure is natural. Eating too much will just make you puke

Ornamentals are often treated during shipping/arrival or in the tank with chemical treatments formalin malachite green etc (carcinogens & what not)

 

@ryanj252 . I will stay away from any Cape lettuce from today :blink1:

 

Fish waste is natural - @BigFish

 

Yes its called Aquaponics
I heard about this also on Talk raido 702 today
Seeing food prices are gonna rise +-20% so this was one of the topics around 8:30 in the morning
Not a bad idea at all tbh!!
but the dude was saying he was doing this with meat fish (to eat) and then the vegi to be planted above the tank

 

nifty idea, but all i see is angels, gouramis, platys and neons all in one tiny little tank, bad combination - recipe for disaster.

 

Easy take out the angels then everything will settle down^^

 

Im sure those fish were added just for visual's on the day of the demo.
