Aquaponics: The Update

[SecretPrepper]

Noot so many pics at the moment (opsec). It is in my garden but i will try and get more tomorrow.

This is a bell siphon i used large pipe for the outside and drilled loads of tiny holes to stop the media coming through. i then used 2 inch diameter pip to create the bell. When water rises up it reaches the top of the standpipe inside the bell (22mm pipe) and starts flowing over the top sucking out all the air creating a temporary vacuum that sucks all the water down into the tank.


Is there nothing a poncho can't do?


The poncho is just temporary until i get more shade for the fish. Going to get reeds.
i used a cut down IBC for the tank with black pond liner to reduce algae blooms. The blue barrel is the filter/sump and the pump pushes water up into it and it over flows into a pipe into the beds.

More pics tomorrow
