<p>Hello everyone! I recently finished Sylvia's Aquaponic Gardening book and feel empowered to make my own system. My goal is to eventually have an Urban Farm using Aquaponics, but I would like to start on a small scale first. I have about 500 SQFT of warehouse space at my disposal (lucky me!)</p>
<p>Our system will be a hybrid system--we will integrate media beds and DWC rafts. The water will be gravity fed from the fish tank to the media bed then to the DWC. Then at the end of the DWC there…</p>
<p>Hello everyone! I recently finished Sylvia's Aquaponic Gardening book and feel empowered to make my own system. My goal is to eventually have an Urban Farm using Aquaponics, but I would like to start on a small scale first. I have about 500 SQFT of warehouse space at my disposal (lucky me!)</p>
<p>Our system will be a hybrid system--we will integrate media beds and DWC rafts. The water will be gravity fed from the fish tank to the media bed then to the DWC. Then at the end of the DWC there will be a pump (or sump w/ a pump?) sending the water back to the fish tank. </p>
<p>My question is this: can we pump the water back into the fish tank using a pool pump or do we need to utilize a sump tank? I am of the belief that we need a sump tank, but my business partner does not agree! I need a very good argument for why we need a sump tank--any suggestions??

<p>I've been working for the past month to design a bunch of CHOP2 systems that use cheap and readily available materials, but that also look really nice. I'm going to be releasing these designs into the public domain a few at a time and plan to begin building some of them very soon.</p>

<p>I've been working for the past month to design a bunch of CHOP2 systems that use cheap and readily available materials, but that also look really nice. I'm going to be releasing these designs into the public domain a few at a time and plan to begin building some of them very soon.</p>
<p>All of my designs are built from wood palettes with minimal sawing and cutting. They are all designed for flat paved ground where you can't bury a sump or pipes into the ground. Each module is insulated from the heat/cold of the ground with 1" or 2" foam board.</p>
<p>The first two are what I call the "Driveway Garden" and are meant to fit into narrow spaces like driveways or small greenhouses. Both cost approximately $2500 in materials. I prefer liner from <a href="http://www.btlliners.com">www.btlliners.com</a>, water pumps from Quiet One and "Low-cost outdoor air pumps" from Aquatic Eco.</p>
<p>I'd be happy to answer any questions and welcome feedback on my designs. =)</p>

<p><span>Hi there everyone,</span><br/><br/><span>Recently we have been working with a small community group that was seriously affected by last year's earthquake here in Japan. We have been talking about helping them to build a backyard-sized aquaponics system into their community garden to provide an activity for both children and elderly people.</span><br/><br/><span>Some of these individuals are still facing mental and emotional difficulties after last year's events and so the hope is that a community garden will be therapeutic, as well as providing a great activity for everyone, and finally they can either eat their own produce or run a small market garden or something like that.</span><br/><br/><span>We are trying to put the system together as simply as possible so there is nothing fancy or clever here. It would be great if you could take a look at the plans that we have posted and let me know your thoughts and/or suggestions. Anything would be most welcome.</span><br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.japan-aquaponics.com/ANZCCJ-Tohoku" target="_blank">http://www.japan-aquaponics.com/ANZCCJ-Tohoku</a><br/><br/>Here is a screen grab of the design, but please check out the link for the accompanying details of the design and tell me what you think.</p>
