Grodan Rockwool Cubes

 



I still have a few hundreds of Grodan rockwool cubes left (for seed germination). Please email me at datseasy if you are interested. I can ship to Singapore/West Malaysia.

  



De-commissioning the balcony setup

It is unfortunate that I have to de-commission this aquaponics setup after almost a year. My client has sold his condominium apartment and asked me to de-commission for storage. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful experience setting up this flood and drain system. The bell siphon works effectively and water change is kept to every fortnightly. This is in contrast to the weekly 50% water change for my monster fish tank at home (no plants in this system).

What is Aquaponics?

My interest in Aquaponics started when I was surfing the Internet to search for information on how to maintain a healthy planted aquarium. It was then that I learnt about the nutritional needs of plants and, interestingly, how an aquarium of "fishes with plants" requires less water change than a "fish only" aquarium.

My planted aquarium -
a simple setup without using CO2 tank;
3x1.5x1.5(feet) tank;
Tetras and water plants.

My project - Aquaponics setup at balcony

I was tasked in December 2011 to setup a system using fibreglass tank (4x2x2) and planter pots. Efforts are made to ensure the set-up look presentable in my client's home.
