Affnan's Aquaponics: NASOM Installation

NASOM is The National Autism Society of Malaysia, this is a non government organization (NGO) that do charitable work for people with Autism.

Recently they contacted me, and are interested with Aquaponics as a source for therapeutic and stress relief for Autism and normal people alike. That part of Aquaponics never look at by anyone and I guess it is a very good idea from them.

So without much hesitation I agree to assist, they procured most parts with list that I gave and I made a couple of siphon for their installation.

Installation was done on 5th October 2013

For a start I am setting up a basic set, which is a two media filled growbed over a fish tank. Each of the growbed drained via siphon into the fish tank. This is the most basic to start with, and as they progress we'll see how it goes.

Typical siphon installation for their growbed.

Will post their progress from time to time.

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.
