I'm glad you are building an aquiponics system. It is a good way to conserve water while growing fish and plants. There are many ways to create a system this is just one. I'm glad you are using this design to build it. It is a good one. Of course, there are modifications that can be made in connecting the barrels together and also using a more sound base. This design has the nuts and bolts of having a successful system.

Those manning this system have moved and the system has been dismantled and awaiting to be rebuilt again. Thank you for your inquiry.

The style of this song is definitely different than the mainstream Christian music, yet if you follow Tauren, you will find that he loves the Lord and His music definitely reflects who Christ is, exalts Him, and loves to lead others into the worship of the Lord. I have posted several other songs he presented that evening that will show case what I was referring to. My channel is www.RUclips.com/@williamwagner. You can click on Playlist and look for Christian artists. My recordings were from a concert at Citizens Bank Areana in Ontario, CA. They highlighted arts such as Colton Dixon, Tauren Wells, and Skillet to mention a few.

How do you remember me?

@@williamwagner Ohh you were my teacher at Gompers back in Los Angeles. I can recall watching "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" in class and you reading to us "The Hobbit" off the of my head. You always looked like a "Dad" to me and not necessarily a teacher. That was compliment 🙂It's remarkable the impressions people can leave in our lives, both good and bad, and how we maintain and cherish them for safekeeping. Thank you, Mr. Wagner. I am happy to know that you're still around and on the internet of all places 🤭🤭 -Tazzar Horne

I remember you. I believe you were in room 14 with me. I believe you say in the front row. I'm glad I made a good impression on you. I enjoyed my time at Gompers. I left in 2002. I went to La Puente for 5 years before sending teaching time in San Bernardino. I did sub for another 6 years before deciding to call teaching quits. I'm all I taught 30 plus years most of all in the middle school arena. I have spent time visiting an orphanage in Mexico for 8 years, but since 2016 I've been traveling to Honduras to assist missionary friends in doing various projects and speaking at some churches. You can see those trips on my RUclips channel at www.RUclips.com/@williamwagner. Go to the playlist tab click on it and search for the Ministry tab. You can see under that tab my trips to Honduras. I hope all is well with you. May the Lord bless you my friend.

I am well. I am now retired from teaching, but keep busy with my grankids and going on mission trips to Honduras. Check out my RUclips Channel at RUclips.com@williamwagner.

I do have the videos, but I need to convert from mpeg to MP4.

I will have a chance on the next 3 weeks to do what it takes to post.

I have posted the video of 2002.

One fish per 5 gallons is a safe number, but you should plan for the fish to grow, so maybe one fish for every 6 gallons, but you will have to harvest the fish eventually due to their demand on the oxygen in the water. You can replenish the harvested fish with smaller ones. Remember to check on your pH levels and Nitrite/ Nitrate levels in the water. There needs to be a balance between both. The fish have problems when the Nitrite/ Nitrate levels are too high, and the plants have a problem if they are too low. The same would be true if the pH levels are off for the fish and plants alike.

@@williamwagner I might start out with catfish Or some climbing perch cause those are almost available in the place I live And as for the plants I think it'll be better to start out with some spinach A small setup of 500 litre tank and no filtration and maybe a 24 watt motor for pumping water Are there any multimeters to measure ammonia, nitrate and nitrile levels?

​@@k3kr You will want to change the size of your fish tank water volume at least once per hour, so you would need 500 liter per hour pump (with enough head pressure to work with your plumbing). It is better to oversize your pump some to be on the safe side. Your choice of fish and greens will work fine. You can test the water with an API freshwater test kit. You need to tract the development of bacteria in your system to know how the system is functioning.

Sorry about that. I ended the recording at that time. I had good seats and was able to record quite a bit from my seat. It was a great concert. Enjoy Skillet. Have been a fan since 2000 when I saw them at Cornerstone 2000 (Bushnell, Illinois). They were setting the tone for P.O.D. on the main stage that evening.

The song sets up very much like Hero. One of my favs.

Thank you.

If used properly, this stove is safe. It can be a real benefit to those in areas where there is a need to conserve wood, purify water, cook a meal quickly, and help in burning wood cleanly in comparison to regular 3 stone stoves. I have built several in Honduras and as you can see one in my backyard. I have also built a Rocket Oven which uses the stove as the means for heat. You can see that at the following link: ruclips.net/video/0ABsWhzt9Pg/видео.html. I also built a couple in Honduras. In the following link you can see the results of its build: ruclips.net/video/C65jDomYl20/видео.html. and another this year: ruclips.net/video/M3S5S_nqrfk/видео.html. Happy building. I do have a bookle for those who want a step-by-step instruction in the building of this oven.

The video was put together to go along with an estimate that is being shown to a donor. It was the only way of showing the video. The hope is we get the donation to repair the roof of the church and do away with mold issues the church now faces.

It was a real treat sitting and hearing both Jen and John talk about their relationship with the Lord and general life. It was a blessing to me and my wife.

We have also post three other videos that give more explanation the aquaponics system. They are: A View of the U Siphon and Its Function on an Aquaponics System, The Key Points of the Water Flow in an Aquaponics System, and Brief Overview of the Components of an Aquaponics System. We have also posted a full length video describing the building of a system from beginning to end. "Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time." I hope this helps. If you like what you see, please subscribe to our channel and give us a like.

I just returned from Honduras where I build a rocket stove and a rocket oven. The rocket oven is no more than a rocket stove with a chamber placed over the stove. It operates just like a regular oven in your house. It's all about managing the temperature in the chamber. I made an overview of the builds I did while there. I will be working on a detailed build bext. The video I made relating to the trip is on RUclips under the title: Honduras 2022 The Return. Enjoy and be looking for a more complete build video in the next month.

Yes, vegetables and plants can grow in the rock media in an aquaponics system. The following link includes the results of a system that is successfully growing plants in a similar system. The system will be seen at about 1:26 in the video. ruclips.net/video/OhV5vtDIKE8/видео.html.

-2 pumps - 650 GPH min. 10-12 feet of head height (Harbor Freight has inexpensive pumps) . If you have an email, I can send you a parts list. This is the link to the build we did in Honduras. ruclips.net/video/Y_wsmzXYXig/видео.html

Thanks for your comments. Using an aquaponics/ raft system is one of the ways I have used to generate growth. View the other videos on the Up Lift Farm. I will address grow beds, chickens and eggs, and my growing challenges in farming.

I am not sure how you can find the tools needed or the necessary parts to do this build in Ethiopia. I do know that you could find someone from a city and search a hardware store. They may have the tools required for such a build. I realize it's easy for one to attain the tools here in the US, but it is different in other countries. The same would be true in locating the parts. If you do locate the needed parts and tools, maybe you could view our video, Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time. It will help you in going from beginning to end. There is also an email where you could request the parts list for such a build. I hope this helps.

لقد انتهينا أنا ودون من المشروع الممتد. يمكن تحديد موقعه عن طريق كتابة العنوان ، عرض في الوقت الحقيقي لنظام Aquaponics. يبلغ طول الفيديو حوالي 45 دقيقة. يمنحك الإصدار الأطول عرضًا أكثر عمقًا لنفس البنية مع تعليقات ورؤى إضافية مكتسبة من سنوات بناء عدد من الأنظمة. في نهاية مقطع الفيديو الطويل ، يوجد مكان يمكنك فيه طلب قائمة بالمواد اللازمة لبناء النظام. لدينا ثلاثة مقاطع فيديو أخرى تقدم شرحًا أكثر عن نظام aquaponics. وهي: نظرة على U Siphon ووظيفته على نظام Aquaponics ، والنقاط الرئيسية لتدفق المياه في نظام Aquaponics ، ونظرة عامة موجزة عن مكونات نظام Aquaponics. يمكن مشاهدة مقاطع الفيديو هذه على قناة RUclips الخاصة بي على: ruclips.net/channel/UCU290sQCYhwr8lZirAfXzgA آمل أن يساعد هذا. لا تتردد في السؤال عما إذا كنت بحاجة إلى المزيد ، على الرغم من أن الفيديو الذي اقترحته يجب أن يجيب على كل شيء. بركات الله لك ولعائلتك.

Don and I have finished the extended project. It can be located by typing the title, A Real Time View of an Aquaponics System. The video is about 45 minutes long. The longer version gives you a more in depth view of the same build with added comments and insights gained from years of building a number of systems. At the end of the longer video there is a place where you can ask for a list of materials needed to build the system. We have also post three other videos that give more explanation the aquaponics system. They are: A View of the U Siphon and Its Function on an Aquaponics System, The Key Points of the Water Flow in an Aquaponics System, and Brief Overview of the Components of an Aquaponics System. Thanks again for your comments.

This is Bill. This project had a great deal of promise. After the dozen missionaries left and the 6 week period to build up the bacterial colonies was finished a number of plants were planted. Lemon grass seemed to be stout enough to weather the harsh rains and winds. The rains definitely had its tolls on the other plants. Eventually, the rains caused a weakness under the base due to erosion. It was rebuilt in January of that next year, but growing things seemed to be a major problem as was mentioned above. The lemon grass seemed to flourish. The next year in visiting, a drainage system was put in along a greenhouse. This seemed to answer the issues created by the rain and wind. Soon after (6 months), the missionaries housing the system was forced to move due to a raise in rent. The system has been dismantled and is sitting in storage waiting for my next return in April/ May of 2022. Other projects in Haiti and Africa have done very well. The keys are keeping and maintaining the water nutrients and pH levels maintained. Check out this link for other systems that are working. www.communities-of-hope.org/ This website is from my friend, Don. If you are interested in other projects I have done such as Rocket Stoves, Ovens, Water Storage, and Raised Grow beds, please check my RUclips channel. I have more videos related to aquaponics system builds in more detail on that channel also. Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time and Water Flow. ruclips.net/channel/UCU290sQCYhwr8lZirAfXzgA Thanks for your question. Please feel free to ask questions about these projects.

Thank you for your comments. I do have other DIY projects that might interest you. They can be found on my channel at: ruclips.net/channel/UCU290sQCYhwr8lZirAfXzgA. Click on Playlist tab and then look for either the aquaponics, rocket stove, or oven tabs.

This video was a time lapsed video of an aquaponics system build. We did a video of a real time build. It's called, Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time. It's purpose was to instruct whereas the time lapse video was to give you a beginning to end of a build in a short time.

@@williamwagner I know it and that's why I came to this video but where did u put those fishes ? How does this setup work... functionality information is completely missing.

There's another video that is complementary to these videos. The Key Points of the Water Flow in an Aquaponics System. This might help you with what takes place in this system. It'll review the water flow and how that impacts the plant life and fish.

Thsnks for your questions.

You are welcome. I tested the temperature of the water a couple of weeks ago. The temp outside was in the upper 90's, but the water temp was in the 70's. Temps here in Southern California during the months of July, August, and September range in the upper 90's to 115. For the temp to be this low was great. Check out the videos I have on the Rocket Stove and Oven.

Again thanks for your comments. I have a variety of videos you can view. I believe you'd be interested in the videos related to my mission trips to Honduras. The will be under the Ministry tab under playlist. Blessings.

Amanda, You are right, the pump is continually supplying the dump tank. The pump serves to move water up to the dump tank which takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Once the water dumps into the grow beds after reaching the U Siphon the water then drains back to the fish tank. The water coming back to the fish tank helps produce oxygen in the water for the fish and later the plants. If the pump is not running, then the plants will not receive the water needed to supply nutrients to them. If you are having a difficult time with a power source at the location of the system, them maybe you could consider a small solar system with battery to power the pump. In this system you will observe a T as it leads from the fish tank. This T has a ball valve which allows the amount of water being pumped to the dump tank or returned to the fish tank. The returned water then also can be used to produce oxygen in the fish tank.

Sorry for the camera movement. In real time the camera movement is not much at all. I had no tripod or stablizer. To see the real time video; it can be seen on my channel. The title is An Aquaponics System Build in Real Time. You won't get dizzy seeing that video.

You are perceptive. There can be a buildup of roots after a while, but an addition of worms can help in the clean up of this debris, but to put things into perspective, it would take a great deal of planting seasons before you' d have a build up of solids. As it relates to maintaining water levels in the tank, there is always the issues of evaporation over a weeks period of time, but that can be remedied by adding water as it lowers. Make sure when adding water pH and nitrate levels are maintained. Fish don't like pH levels out of line and plants don't like out of bounds levels in nitrates. You can watch several other videos related to this one. One deals with the water flo of this type of system and the other is a real time view of a build. They can be seen on my channel: William Wagner. Click playlists and then aquaponics. Thanks again first your question.

@@williamwagner thanks so much for the reply. We are building out an aquaponic system here on our ranch, and I've been doing a lot of research. I really like your set up. I've filled out the form for the parts list in the website linked at the end of the video, I look forward to getting that list so I can start sourcing parts. Thank you so much for the great info!

@@amandaemanuel5927 Found your email in the junk mail, so I'll get to it right away. Thanks for your inquiry. Blessing. Have fun building.

Hey Amanda... you might want to view the rebuild of the aquaponics system build done in 2019. The system need a rebuild due to a move by the missionary. W also changed the base to make sure it was more secure.

@@williamwagner I will definitely give that a watch. We are thinking about using super strut and concrete pavers for most of our base structure. We have that stuff laying around from a previous project, and the cost of lumber these days is nuts!

Good question. I am not sure where we make that connection. I realize that a dozen missionaries did the work on this system, but how is that connecting God and this system? The purpose of the video is to show what was done by these men and women to help the people of Honduras in an alternative way of being mindful of water usage while growing crops. A more detailed video called, Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time can be seen on my channel. It is 44 minutes long and takes you through the build from beginning to end. Here is the link to my channel. Go to Playlist, click, look for the Aquaponics tab and click on it. The video will be under that tab. Here is the channel link. ruclips.net/channel/UCU290sQCYhwr8lZirAfXzgA.

Thank you for the kind words. The video is of my friend, Don. We have worked together in Honduras building an aquaponics system and doing a presentation to 5th and 6th graders talking about aquaponics, water conservation, and rocket stoves. My name is Bill and this is my channel. Don does not have a channel, but what you saw in this video and the other videos are at his house. He is a fun guy to be around as well as his family. Check out his website listed in the description of the video. He does so much. Blessing to you.

@@williamwagner as thanks for your kind reply with all that info. That is amazing, and good work for the both of you! Stay safe.

I will try to address your questions and comments regarding this system. First concerning the fish tank water. The water was dirty due to the fish were introduced into a new environment. We transported the fish in the pond water we took them out of. In introducing them to a foreign water source, we mixed the different sources to ensure the fish would be able to handle the transition. Second, there is no need for an external filtration system. The gravel in the grow beds will filter the water and return the water clean to the fish tank. The grow bed in this system is actually very good. It uses up a small amount of water compared to other systems. As it relates to a vertical stand you mentioned, you can not compare the two systems. They both serve a different purpose. I have seen the vertical system do excellent, but it requires a completely different set of material and requirements of monitoring. Any system has its benefits and drawbacks. They are not good or bad, smart or dumb. They are just different.

@@williamwagner way to take the high ground instead of being a dikk like op

@@williamwagner That guy is a POS troll, don't waste your time on those people. The guy is clearly and asshole.

Thank you. Building an Aquaponics System in Real Time is the real time build of this system. Check it out.

Thanks for your comments. This model works very well. Some configurations only have one tier for the fuel intake. I enlarged it along with adding a longer grate for the purpose of using varying size wood and longer. There is no doubt a person must tend to the fire, but larger pieces of wood allows for long burning times. This design of rocket stove allowed me to develop a chamber over the stove using block and brick to develop an oven. I have baked bread, cookies, pizza, and brownies. Same concept as a regular oven. I have built one for my back yard in case of emergencies and also in Honduras. In Honduras, the oven and the stove will help wonen in cooking with a small percentage of wood and the time. You can view my build on my channel. I have also drawn up plans for both. If you want a copy I can send a PDF copy of the stove and oven.

Your solution is a good one, but the whole idea of using the system as it is is because it allows a continuation of the water flow with minimal dependence on inaction from people. In the current way the system is made the only input needed is the addition of water on a weekly basis and the testing of the water for nitrates and pH levels.

@@williamwagner I was talking about where you get water from at the end. You have 2 valves. One is inline ball type nd other is regular water faucet. At about :20 mark you see the one with red handle, ball type and silver one, regular faucet. You only need one.

I see where you are referring to. You are right. A simple garden hose connection would have been suffice. Our problem on this build was the supplies available at the time of the build. We had limited supplies being in a rural location at 6,000 feet in Yamarangua, Honduras. Thanks for your input. Grateful for your insights and understanding of the aquaponics system.

@@williamwagner If you or someone else has limited supplies, that would be a problem. If all you had at the time was the ball valve and not a faucet or end cap, yeah, you would have to use it to keep water in system. That's why it's a good idea to draw out plans ahead of time and decide where you want what. Easy to draw a line, harder to cut and recut pipe. Good job on system though. When I get back to Philippines, I want o start a system at our place and even maybe make it big enough so my wife's family can run it as a business after they see how it works. Once done, all you need it fish food.

Actually, the stove is very stable. The key is making sure there is a level and stable base. I used 2 concrete block as the base. The base was placed on pavers. One I built in Honduras, I used gravel to level the initial base, but again used concrete blocks to establish the base.

Appreciate your comments great wisdom. You never know what things were used for before. Maybe it's best to know your seller. In Honduras it's another thing. We were fortunate and got food grade barrels.
