Good day Rob from Kansas US. I used a sand bed as a filter for a large pond when I lived in California, which included silica sand, vermiculite, and powdered activated charcoal. That bed grew anything i put in it, silica is beneficial but I think the charcoal is key for grabbing the nutrients and holding them until the roots can use them. Plant leaves became appreciatively Greener and lush, I believe plants take up charcoal in that form and basically, glucose is carbon.
@iAVs-Sandponics
2 жыл бұрын
An iAVs takes 3 months to become functional and then about a year for it to be considered a mature system. Thie silica in the sand is completely unavailable to the plants. Microbes are the key aspect of an iAVs and they transport, store and convert the nutrients for the plants.

At night it draws 290w but does have the gas heater going.

The system was built out of a lot of second hand gear. This latest build I have done to it should return the amount spent in food and fish within 9 months. To catch up with the costs accrued running it in that time, 12 months. With the price of fresh food in Australia at the moment, I'm roughly $20 a week ahead, but it would be more if I wasn't running the barramundi. They eat a lot more than most fish, and require the heating.

I tried to save it, but eventually it went belly up, so I had to put it out of it's misery. I hadn't had that happen in a long time. And it had to jump pretty high to get to the place where I found it. The water seems good, all the other fish seem to be fine. So I hope that it was just a freak accident.

@@davewhite9303 I feed them with pellets and dried Gammarus which is a lobster species, although it is not specified which variant. This particular fish species that jumped out of the pond is called the ide (Leuciscus idus), a native species in Europe and western Asia. As an ornamental fish, the ide is usually referred to as the orfe, and the main variety kept is the golden orfe, which is golden or orange in colour with some black spots on its neck, near the head. Which was the variant that jumped out of my pond. It is actually not the right species for my pond because my pond is rather small, and those fish grow fast and they swim fast and they are real surface hunters, and they are not the easiest fish to keep because they need good and stable conditions in order to be able to flourish. At the same time they are an excellent pioneer fish so that you can learn about your system and to dial it in before you buy expensive eatable fish. If one can keep an ide healthy one can also grow eatable fish. Which I might do at some point in time. The ide itself is also eatable, but it is not a highly desired eatable fish. I mean, losing a fish sucks, especially after watching them grow for so many years you get attached to them. I even tried to reanimate the fish by pumping extra water through its gills. But it is not the end of the world. And it is not something that I can possibly prevent from happening. I buried it in my garden and now it will complete the cycle of nature.

Downsides: You need an extra pump on a timer, unless you are willing to run a full IAV system. The furrows are a PITA to keep in shape, and rain will affect them too. When its really windy the sand will blow away too. The coarse riversand is the best I have found.

We need some advice on "Sandponics". We have a property with a large river running through it, with large sandy beaches. On the upper side of the stream we would like to build fish ponds and then downstream on the 5 acres of beaches have rice fields, etc., plus vegetable and fruit gardens all provided with water and poop from the fish ponds (with gravity/siphoning). What recommendations do you have for us?

Really interested in the purge tank set up! How long do you leave the fish in there? I assume about a day. And how much salt do you put in the tank? Great setup and great tour. Thanks!

Hi mate, I leave them 3-4 days in there. It has air driven sponge filters in there for filtration while in, I don’t have them in at the moment, but they usually go in the tank next to it to keep the bacteria alive and thriving, then when I put fish in the purge tank I move the filters in. Silly me left them out one morning and the dog chewed em up, I have more on order. The Barra are salted at 20ppm the other fish types, 6ppm.

Thank you so very much! That's great info. I really like the idea of purging them in a salty water tank. I had never thought if it, but it makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and results with us all.

I have a radial flow filter after my ibc fish holding tank to catch primary solids before going into K1 moving bio filter after that it does to mechanical filter which is a number of essentially giant scouring pads to catch fines. If I were to do it again I'd add a second radial flow filter after the MBB filter as I find the fines produced are likely old bacteria off the K1. Where can I get some of those filter socks?

Hi Kelly. Not all sand is suitable due to its grain size & also makeup. The best sands are quarts sands that contain no carbonates, like from small fragments of sea shells & the like. The iAVs Website has more information on what sands are suitable, iavs.info/ I hope that helps some.

LMFAO.... Dread.. You have talked to Murray and his system, he didn't want to share his results or did you have to pay him to take the course to find out? I have done sand bed water tests but you are still not getting it. Not all the nutrients are in the water, they collect in the furrows and are mineralized and taken up microbes and by the plants... You know plants can uptake bacteria that in turn hold the nutrients.. So how are you supposed to test for that without doing a soil sample test of the sand and organic waste and microbes in the furrows?

@@sleepdepot9790 LOL. Murray has not released the ppms that I am aware of I did ask him a month or 2 ago again but i know hes been busy. You have? They why have you not released them? And no it doesnt work that way minerals not present dont magically materialize in sand its not magic you can't make something that is not in the input just apear because you want it to. The sand people really have to drop the ridiculous and false claim that it provides all nutrients as if it does not have a philosophers stone or the core of a star you simply are not going to make many of the nutrients your plants need. Manganese and iron oxidize and are not found in adequate levels in fish food. Molybdenum is quickly stripped out by plants. Silica and calcium are depleted over time. These are chemistry issues that no amount of sand will change. You claim you tested it lets see your water ppm tests then and well compare apples to apples. And you can easily test for that with sap nutrient tests, tissue sampling, and slurry tests regularly done in cannabis cultivation. If the minerals are not in the inputs they will not be present. Plants deplete inputs over time and fish poop was not chemically formulated for plant food so you really need to stop making such obviously false claims. Any one with a basic understanding of chemistry can see that.
