I sow these rice seed on Nov 20th 2016 in the gutterbeds as a trial to see whether aquaponics can support this plants.

Rice needs lots of water, so its a good candidate to try doing it in Aquaponics

I transplanted it to individual pots and place them in the #gutterbed, after two and a half months only did I realise it started to flower and produce rice grain.

I only keep four pots to try, and all the plant produce rice

Some reported empty husk, this I need to see in few weeks time whether it is empty or not.

Kids will love to see Rice plants, since these are grown far away from the busy cities.

diy aquaponics no electricity

Making a small single barrel #guttergrowbed set from surplus gutter. Six feet of gutter leftover from earlier set cut into two and endcapped.

After hot glue the ends, do a leak check to ensure all in good order. I had to redo and check it few times due to leaks, but the fix is simple enough to do.

Two 3 feet gutter resting on the barrel, this is one of the remaining barrel that I use for the craft barrel set. No additional support required as long as small plants are planted in this #guttergrowbed.

I intent to put pots in one of the gutter and direct hydroton in another to test out. Since its small, it will be easy to clean if needed.

All thats left to do now is installing the siphon and water pump.

diy aquaponics dwc | Front Gutterbed Making a smaller setup

Since my backlane CRAFT set was completed last week, I can redo the front set into something smaller or repurpose it into a test bed.

I need to test further into possibility of mosquito breeding in my set, from initial trial it is not a problem. However it is good to be safe then sorry.

All plants removed and placed in a temporary tray.

Gutter all emptied and drained, Ill only use two leaving room on the rack to try out something else.

This FrankenRack need redo, few additional angle iron from the back lane project will be enough.

Water needs to be drain from the tank and fish safekeep into the round container in foreground.

Fast forward, after four hours the new set with two gutterbeds completed. Racking redo to make it more compact and stronger.

Each of this gutter require 500 Liter/hour pump before considering the height require. Actual inflow should be around 250 liter/hour the most. The two gutters add up to 1000 liter/hour, so a 1000 liter/hour pump is use. This pump consumes 14 watt of electricity for it operation per hour.

Siphon use existing unit, no issue there.

Completed set, netting in place to ensure fish contained inside since they like to jump whenever in new surrounding.

Ill use this set for few test, one test is to see how reliable the smaller pump is. Another is Strawberry, I can start planting it again in this setup. Previous trial was using traditional growbed.

So there goes, the front set.
