The Aquaponic System56 viewsThis photo shows the overall setup of the aquaponic system. Note that the water is fed back into the sump via a syphon system. It works best if the end of the syphon is kept submerged, otherwise the geese wash their bottoms on it and stop the syphon's flow. The syphon pipe is kept submerged and in place with the help of a couple of bricks. 1 commentsGUINEITH

Aquaponic Goose Pond45 viewsThe goose's pond is also the sump for the hydroponic system. Water is pumped from the pond to the hydro bed with an ordinary 1500 lph pond pump tied inside a (white) feed sack. The feed sack stops the pump from getting clogged with sand, poo and other debris and also stops the geese from playing with it, chewing the cord etc. The water is gravity fed through the bed which has a slight (approx 1/100) gradient. The blue handled tap is to control the flow into the hydroponic system. GUINEITH

Aquaponic Garden Bed.34 viewsThis is the hydroponic half of my aquaponic system. Every time I look at these plants, it seems that they have grown! The garden mesh is to stop the dogs from taking their baths in it!GUINEITH
