Affnan's Aquaponics: Trimming The Growbed

This long Chinese New Year break give me the chance to up keep my aquaponics growbed. The Basil growbed trimmed and some of the basil I just pull out and discard.

Those are the discarded plants leave etc, to many for us to use.

Fern again get the trimming, I redo the water inlet due the old one get clog and causing growbed to be clogged with fish waste. A lot of earthworm in my aquaponics, don't know where they come from. I need to be extra careful not to have the earthworm transferred to myself.

Fish tank after the trimming, full of basil leave, water celery leaves etc. I need to scoop these before it clog my water pump.

Selamat Datang

I am an Aquaponics Enthusiast from Malaysia. My involvement with Aquaponics started in early 2008 moving from water gardening, ornamental fish keeping and from necessities to keep plants alive in concrete jungle we live in.

Urban Agrostyle specializing in Media Based Flood & Drain Aquaponics using siphon, producing vegetables and fish for household use in the small space that I have. Ornamental Aquaponics is another area of aquaponics that I am looking at with working prototype that currently in use.

I did made some design improvement to the aquaponics siphon making it more reliable and as such that it is an "install and forget" item in the system.

This blog is about my daily activities in Aquaponics, trying new things, improving on old or just routine work that I do. It will also be some blunders that happens occasionally, so that it will be a lesson learned and not repeated.

I don't do Aquaponics on a commercial scale because it requires different level of expertise, settings and support equipment, therefore I will not reply any query on it.

Thank you and do enjoy your visit and hope it’s beneficial to both you and me.
