Affnan's Aquaponics: Aquaponics never look this good.

Received a message from Kevin Kawahara in Hawaii, on an Aquaponics Single Barrel set that he made for his kid's preschool as below.

Hi Affnan,
Just wanted to share some pictures of a fancy Affnan style barrel planter I built for my kid's preschool to auction off at an upcoming fundraiser. Pretty much all of it inspired by your blog:

I already have orders from the school for more to keep at the school.

Thanks for all your information!

Kevin

What can I say, in one word its "Beautiful". Made for a preschool in Hawaii called "The Toddler Program" for their fundraiser auction.

It use a barrel cut to make a growbed and fish tank with castor base and nice graffiti on basics of Aquaponics.

Great for kids, and probably a good way to introduce Aquaponics to their parents too.

A white colour barrel, this is something vary rare to find. The colour make it blend in with the decor nicely.

Its wonderful to see some of my work being put to good use, especially when its done for school and charity.

There are more photos at the link he provide or check out his facebook by his name.

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.

Very nice. It is always great to see children excited about things that grow. I get some much entertainment watching my 7 year old girl with all of the baby animals we have had around the farm, and how interested and excited she becomes when something she plants germinates and first starts to come through the dirt. I can only hope that my children will remain interested in this learning and development process.

It is a very good thing to be involved in children's education and learning experiences.
