what paint do you use to paint that fish tank bro?
hi there, i am all new to this so looking at all the clips i can get before
starting mine.
i have the same setup but much smaller.
do you think its important for a filter of some sort ?
i don’t have clay balls any advice on other medium to use ?
I haven’t noticed any issues with my fittings so far. I also haven’t read
anything adverse besides the fact that it is prone to expand and retract in
different weather conditions, however I have not notice any leakage from
the fittings directly. It’s certainly not known to be unsafe to use for
Aquaponics. There is a brief section on Aquatic Toxicity in the MSDS
document which I will add the description of this video for you.
Zip ties, wire & gaffer tape…. All you need to build anything methinks..
Great clip & explanation… Looks like you will be up & running in no
time.. Tar for the mention too… Have a great one…
Excellent Bro! you’ve done an amazing job and I’m really looking forward to
seeing it all running! excellent Video! very impressive so far Bro! 🙂

Apocalypse tool kit. I got all of the media cards cut and put in now. I
levelled it today, that was a fun job :/ All i need now is to fill them up
and I can get started!!
Have you had any problems using ABS pipe and fittings? Here in the US it is
not recommended for potable water, only as a drain where the water is not
longer used.

I had to refrain from mentioning the end cap of the bell siphon. For some
reason I laugh when I say bell end while recording…
