Why Build Your Own DIY Aquaponics System?
So, what’s the big idea about building your own DIY system? While a pre-made aquaponics system can work quite efficiently and we’ve had great luck with them, there is something so rewarding about making your own, not to mentioned a few additional benefits…
1. Cost
2. Education
3. Control
Cost
When it comes to pre-made systems your looking and dropping a minimum of $300 and upwards of $10,000(or more) depending on the size. When you build your own system, especially when just getting started to see if this is something you want to do for the long term, cost is a huge factor. One of our first system was made for only $80… and I know people who’ve gone even cheaper for about $30.
Education
By getting in the trenches and having to figure out your plan, materials, and how to make them all work together you are going to learn a ton! When you buy a pre-made system, sure it works, but do you know how?
Control
When it comes to a DIY system there are endless possibilities. No one is going to build a DIY system the same. Everyone is different in their wants and needs, everyones space to setup is not the same size so having the freedom to make it any way you want is going to give you control over the exact best setup for you and your family.
The Basic Setup
Before getting your hands dirty it’s important to have a basic understanding of the most common diy aquaponics setup. Looking at the image below, and in it’s simplest terms you have a fish tank and a grow bed. The fish poop which is turned into nutrients for the plants to grow, and the plants clean the water(by absorbing the nutrients) so the fish are happy.
It’s a complete, self sustainable system that produces delicious food for you and the family!
