murray hallam diy aquaponics dvd | Another Pump Failure

murray hallam diy aquaponics dvd


Guys.... WE HAVE A SERIAL KILLER... :)

Another failure with same symptom, wire damage. Look closely at the wire few inches from the pump body, sign of being nibble.


This is the second pump that fail the same way in the same tank, never had happen before. The tank was not new and I had pumps in it before without any problem.

First it happen : Here as photo below.


Initially I thought it was the pump build quality, then could it be the wire chafe against the fibre tank. The pump has been use before and the tank is not new, no failure of this nature.

I know rats love to chew on wire, sometimes we can find them electrocuted while trying to munch through the insulator. But this wire is underwater, and rat dont do scuba dive.

One possibilities... its the Pacu that did it. Only this tank has Pacu fish and I only started doing pacu this year. I never had this problem before.

Wiki on pacu : Here


Photo above from the web of a Pacu fish.

diy aquaponics vortex filter | Another Pump Failed

diy aquaponics vortex filter


Another pump fail, this time the pump is running slightly more than a month. Electrical cable that was in the tank got damaged and I dont know what causes it.

I almost got an electric shock when I was about to check the pump operation, luckily I manage to back off before any bigger shock is felt.

Other pump running in the same tank doesnt have any problem like this, there also sign of worn on the spindle. This pump was use the most for two months total, its doesnt look good.

Close up on spindle.

Thats it, I will not buy this brand until I can be sure that this will not happen again.

diy urban aquaponics | Equatorial Lowland Strawberry Project Journal 17th Oct 2014

diy urban aquaponics


That aphid infested plant has to be sacrifice to ensure situation contained. I decide to re-pot and trimmed all leaves from this plant.
The black aphid reappear, but the ants are no more around.
I had to cut all the leaves and get rid all this aphid, need to visit the local flower nursery to find more potent organic spray to ensure they dont reoccur.
They are even in the crown area.
Trimmed and re-pot and will monitor closely.
Hope this plant survived the ordeal.

diy aquaponics uk | Power of Nature renamed to Reborn

diy aquaponics uk



I did some changes on the Power of Nature, mostly replace the Elatine triandra with Hemianthus callitrichoides and also removed Ludwigia brevipes. I also rename it to "Reborn"

It is amazing to see how simple plant change can tranform the whole look.

diy vertical garden aquaponics | More Silos to Test

diy vertical garden aquaponics


Testing few more silos tubes for my Silos Growbed system, cut few blanks to make the necessary silo pots.


These silos are made for 12" growbed, above are 8" blanks for it. Manage to get 28 blanks from one uPVC tube.


Not going to be over ambitious here, simple plants will do.


Will sow some other plants like tomatoes and eggplant etc.


Due to lack of space in growbed, silos are place within existing growbed.

diy aquaponics grow beds | Taste Test Start To Finish

diy aquaponics grow beds


On 10th Sept 2014 this plant I allow the flower to develop to see what happen, whether it can bear fruit in this hot lowland. 
To get the plant flowering is great news for me since as a known fact that Strawberry will have difficulties in flowering if exposed to temperature of greater that 28 degrees C.
On 21st September 2014 it form fruit and I was anxious to see its progress.
Not as large as the highland but to get it fruiting is a joy to see on 25th September 2014
Slowly changing color to a reddish pinkish Strawberryish.. :)
And finally today 28th September 2014, pick it for test taste.
Nice and firm, but should have waited another couple of days before picking.
 Not the usual Strawberry shape, may be due to this particular cultivar it is like that.
The flesh is firm and not watery as most Aquaponics, what ever it is I am overjoy for this and cant wait for next year when the plants are fully ready to bear fruits.

So it took 18 days from flower to picking time, more or less.
