Thinking about Aquaponics!
Sorry im about to get technical and might not make much sense but i need to rave about this for a moment.
I've been thinking about Aquaponics as a sustainable gardening technique since my new garden hates me. I has a set up idea uwu
I want to use the media bed ebb and flow style (box full of rocks that fills with water then drains out perodically) as a biofilter (home for beneficial bacteria that turn fish waste into nutrition for the plants.) and NRT Nutrition river technique (the pipes half full of water) (no not NFT Nutrition film technique) to basically make a Kratky (mostly submerged roots system) that gets water changes from the bell siphon in the media bed.
I'm not sure this will work tho. mostly cuz I'm wondering if a botton drain that uses gravity to equalize the two tanks, could work with a bell siphon to make an electric free set up or not, idk if the bell siphon will be powerfull enough to reach the top of the pipes and idk if the bottom drain will work along side the bell siphon. Maybe I'm just stupid for thinking this could work, but it would be super cool if it did XDD
I could just add a pump and/or a sump tank but this would be way cooler.
