"Hi Debra,
Yea that's the trouble with just the tubing. Normally we use a bulkhead fitting and fitted PVC pipes. Pipe would surely solve the problem of directing water from the base GB and on the outside to increase the water level. Silicone is…"
ModeratorTCLynx replied to Pat James's discussion Tilapia as 'graisers' in the group Tilapia Growers
"I've heard of them scraping algae off surfaces but they are not going to be as good as a couple small plecos at keeping tank walls clean of surface algae. And it will depend on how hungry you keep them. Small tilapia have a powerful…"
"This group really kicks ass! I want to try to make one of you guys meetup's one day. You guys need to start thinking about an e book e booklet, "
Debra-ann Phipps replied to Debra-ann Phipps's discussion Plants all died"When we have time we will try to diagram that out to understand it better, we are thinking we are going to have to lower both outflow tubes which would be very hard to do but I am not sure the inside tube idea would be…"
"Thanks Leisa. The Helo looked like the hundreds of misspelled spam e-mails I have seen over a few years so...I questioned this."

Leisa McPherson commented on alex batista's group San Antonio Aquaponics"I think it is Helo. If you look at all the members, you will see it. I responded directly but haven't heard anything. I can't even see that message posted here."

I know all of us would be willing to help if they post the message here."
"Hi George David,
I called you Tom earlier, so sorry. I can't remember my own name most days! I think I just replied to the wrong post.
I'm sorry that you haven't received much help on the forum. I hope I've…"

Jeffrey Ihara replied to William J Silverthorn's discussion Water Pressure Puzzle"I agree with Jason. The water level in the fish tank only needs to be higher than the grow bed. "
Jeffrey Ihara replied to R.K. Castillo's discussion Aquaponics Non Electric Pump Prototype"it looks like you're attempting to violate the laws of the universe--unless there is some energy input that I'm not seeing.
No hamsters on wheels, or maybe catfish that are yoked in the fish tank and made to swim in circles, thus driving…"

"Hi R.K.,
So i really really like this! Please post when you get it in action asap!"
ModeratorHarold Sukhbir replied to Debra-ann Phipps's discussion Plants all died
"Hi Debra,
Ok, thanks. Yes 1/2 inch would be fine. You can also put the coarser gravel to the bottom this will ensure more water movement there. You can use a length of the same tubing on the inside of the Gb's out flow. Make some slits about…"
R.K. Castillo posted a discussionAquaponics Non Electric Pump Prototype
I've been trying to design an aquaponics pump that runs without electricity and I came up with this design. I nearly had it working until I broke one of the gears. In the next prototype I will use an old bicycle like everyone else uses. What do you think? Do you think this will work? See More
