[Food] Easy DIY Indoor Aquaponic Growth System (Part 01)

Posted on by

This is a upgrade to my Aquaponic Growth System that I had posted in “My Project” page.

14 Feb 2009

Today I made a small innovation upgrade to my Aquaponic Indoor Grow System, I realized a very serious problem of small fishes or shrimps being sucked into the water pump…causing lot’s of pain both in my heart and pocket…($_$)

In order to reduce more unnecessary death I had decided to find a way to do the following requirements.

  1. Water Pump remain powerful to suck up the  fish waste as fertilizer to the plants above.
  2. No more death of small fishes or shrimps.
  3. No blockage at the water inlet.

Here’s the the update…drum roll!

    That looks great! Good job. We forgot to cover the pond pump with rocks and lost two goldfish right away… that was a bummer.

    That’s a painful experience that I think most aquarium hobbyist will at least experience once! I got my first trial by fire when my baby shrimps got sucked into the pump and end up in the filter medium!! That’s like 20++ shrimps…each cost 20 cents in Singapore.

    I had to switch to bubble filter through sponge to avoid more death haha.

    For this powerful water pump I used a plastic cover seen in my update hehe :)
