murray hallam diy aquaponics | Water Flow Gauge

murray hallam diy aquaponics

Making this simple device to measure water inflow to growbed. This is helpful since I can then document siphon water operating range. which now is not so accurately done.

I use the Bettas BT 6000 pump as the water source and a mechanical flow rate gauge utilizing float type weight to shows water flow rate.

Two stop cock use, one as diverter and the other just to provide restriction just incase the diversion is not enough.

Below a short video presentation of the flow tester.

diy aquaponics fish bowl | D New feeder tank

diy aquaponics fish bowl

I purchased a 50 gal Tub from Home Depot for 10 bucks. Filled it with some cycled media and now I am using it as feeder tank. I buy feeder minnows 100 at a time and it seems to be going well as long as I do 90% water change 2 times a week and very light feeding of high quality tropical flake food.

diy aquaponics design | Iwagumi Layout Workshop

diy aquaponics design

Very useful workshop, not to mention the S$5 Aquajournal. The workshop is mainly sharing session, sharing what the ADA Singapore learn from Amano seminar during the IAPLC party last year (2008). Very insightful, how to place the main rock and supporting rock, how big the main rock compare to the supporting rock, plant selection for Iwagumi, etc. The worst part would be it make me want to rescape my previous Iwagumi tank...have to resist the temptation...

diy ibc aquaponics system | Trying Out New Pump

diy ibc aquaponics system

I had been using the Astro pump from the start of my Aquaponics hobby. Its time to look for some other brand that may be better suited for my usage. This Sunsun HJ 1100 looks interesting enough for me to give it a try.

The Astro AS1000 rated 14 watt ,1000 liter/hr at 0m and max head is 1 meter.

Rating graph of the AS 1000.

Sunsun HJ 1100 rated 20 watt 900 liter/hr at 0m and max head is 1.5 meter. The Sunsun is cheaper by RM5.00 as compared to the AS1000.

Rating for the HJ 1100

On my gutter growbed system I need more water inflow but try to maintain a pump that is small and relatively low power. So at 20 watt is the max Ill do for two 15 mm siphon at 24 inches water head.

The HJ 1100 comes with various fittings for water outlet coupling and two types of feet.

I use the rubber bung type of feet, no need of the suction type which wont really hold but just makes it difficult if you want to remove the pump from the tank.

Same like the HJ 600 that I purchased for the Ornamental set it has a variable water output by means of this blue dial that in this installation I leave it to the max.

Water inlet to gutter increase as compared to the AS 1000 delivery, this increase in water in-flow makes it necessary to retune the siphon since it had exceeds the normal operating range of a standard installation.

Whether this new pump is better than AS1000, only after a prolong usage will tell. Both pump are cheap at about USD 10.00  each.

diy aquaponics controller | Electronics New fish lever switch

diy aquaponics controller

I was wandering around wondering in an electronics store today, and found a new, even better switch  for my fish activated lever on my demand fish feeder.

It looks like this.

The one on the left is what Im using now, and I had to glue some tubing on it so that it looked more like the one on the right.

The one on the right already looks absurd without my having to glue anything to it at all.

I have no idea why someone would need an inch long press button switch.

Unless they were using it as a fish lever.





I mentioned to the owner that the switches could be triggered with sideways pressure.

He didnt know that.

It seems the manufacturer didnt intend it, and it is just a pleasantly useful side affect of the manufacturing process. .





120 Things in 20 years - Getting ever close to filling up my brain with new facts about electronics and absurdly long new fish lever switches for my aquaponics demand feeder.

diy small indoor aquaponics | Chili Plants showing recovery

diy small indoor aquaponics

Was very hot these last few weeks and it affect even aquaponics plants, especially the newly planted seedlings.

Few Chili plants that I transplanted to the Ornamental set was dying after the move and I had to act fast before its too late.

I have few spare nettings from previous project and they are put to give some shade to the chili plants. Slowly there is sign of recovery and during peak daylight it manage to reduce the intense heat giving time for the seedling to grow.

Some light drizzle this last day or two do help in cooling down the set and reduce overall tenmperature during the day. Still few weeks to go and I hope they survive to give me red hot chili.

diy aquaponics materials | Testing New Pump For The Ornamental Set

diy aquaponics materials

Few types of pump tested on the ornamental set ranging from Alpha 1000, Alpha 500 and the Venusaqua E3302. Since I am trying to use the smallest siphon for the Ornamental set the Alpha 1000 and Venusaqua pump were not suitable due to the large flow rate.

The Alpha 500 works with the small siphon (15mm) but this pump construction make its maintenance high. The rotor is held by a shaft anchored at one end leaving the other unsupported and it is prone to cavitation. However it has been tested for almost eight month and still running. It only requires constant up keeping.

Test a different pump today a Sunsun HJ-600, an 8 watt pump with a flow rate of 600 Liter per hour maximum at zero head.

List of pump parts below.

The HJ-600 Specification.

The HJ-600 output verses height.

This pump has a front dial to adjust output. It does work, on my ornamental set with 15mm siphon I set it to slightly above the minus mark.

Side view, this pump is in 3 section, the front is the intake with the grille and flow adjuster. The mid section where the pump impeller vane and the front spindle support, with the back part house the motor coil and the permanent magnet rotor.

On the body it is rated at 10watt, oh well.. and the height max is 1.5 m, not bad for a small pump.

The other side of the pump.

Mid section after the grille removed.

The front part where the grille and flow adjuster.

To remove the mid section, quarter turn it anti-clockwise and it it detach from the body.

Exposing the impeller and rotor.

The impeller is different from Alpha series where this design reminds me of turtle climbing from a hole.

Shaft is stainless steel, to small for a ceramic but it is significantly larger that anything in its class. With larger spindle shaft pump will last longer.

Rotor removed exposing the housing which has a hols ad the beck for the shaft pivot point.

The back with hold for the shock mount rubber. This design should makes it easier to clean the mousing since we can have a water path right through.

All the attachment came with the pump, not in picture is a filler sponge.

Pump assembled, ready for installation.

Whats left not required for operation.

In the water and will be tested for few months under actual aquaponics setup.

First flush.

Water in rate as at slightly above the minus sign and only after prolong use I will know how good is this pump for this set.

There you go,
