diy aquaponics materials | Basic Components water pump and air pump

diy aquaponics materials


My "Basic Components" compedium was left in the dust for a while and its time to bring it up to speed.

Id written about my main fish tank pump before. Its a Little Giant brand pump, and here are the specs for anyone thats interested. It works in-line, or submerged. I have mine submerged. So far, its worked great, and its easy to clean. I assume pump technology is pretty well advanced, and have faith this thing will perform for a long time. However, I am planning on getting a second pump ASAP, just to have on the shelf in case I need it. These are mechanical devices after all, and if there is one thing Ive learned over the years, its that if something can go wrong, it eventually will - usually when its least convenient!

My air pump I had to get on line. The local aquarium market is aimed a small household fish tanks, probably for people with a few gold fish and such, which I consider extremely boring and a waste of time and money. I mean, if you cant eat it, and its not a dog, whats the point?

In any case, I tracked down a nice air pump online. This delivers 16L of air per minute, through eight outlets:


The air tubing is sold separately, as are the air-stones. Right now I only have four air-stones hooked up (because I didnt buy enough tubing), but that should be way more than enough air for the amount of fish and water I have.

Ill be posting the specs and set-up for my battery-back-up pump system hopefully this weekend. After that, I hope to get some plant and fish action soon, or there will not be much to write about for a few weeks!
