How to build an IBC aquaponic system.

  How to build a really simple IBC aquaponic system using a minimal amount of tools.
Do you want to build an aquaponics system using cheap recycled materials? You’ve come to the right place. Here at Santa Cruz Aquaponics we have a simple aim, to help as many people as possible set up their own aquaponics system. So in helping people do this we’ve tried to provide in depth information about IBC’s and about the different ways in which people have used them in aquaponics
We also have step by step instructions, parts lists and pictures of many different IBC aquaponic systems. You can download "The IBC of Aquaponics" an interactive pdf manual on building IBC aquaponics systems for free from here:  http://ibcofaquaponics.com/files/IBCofAquaponics.pdf

Aquaponic Science Project Update

Hello everyone, and Happy Earth Day. The lettuce and basil plants are beginning to sprout and I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl over the prospect of enjoying some fresh garden salads soon. I will keep you posted.

This is the basic idea for a aquaponic container: It's called an IBT.

IBT with a grass skirt. Don't ask.

Pipes lead to a two-stage filter unit and pump.

Lot of lava rocks for the plants.

275 gallon IBT container tanks came today.

We received the fish tanks today, two 275 gallon IBT containers. Nice and clean, ready to fill them up once we get a pad on the ground.
