Images of first prototype of 55 gallon aquaponics system these are pictures of a modified version that is about $363 in parts before the backup pump (add about $80 if you get it on online or $150ish if you pick it up in a store).. 55 gallon food grade barrel to aquaponic system with tank window: for this project, you will need:two food grade 55 gallon barrels, one must be whole, bottom 12" must be intact (at least) on second barrela box of 1/4" by (1/2" long)stainless steel carriage bolts (must be stainless steel) you wont need them all, b…. Here is what you'll need to set up your system. 1 - 55 gallon food grade barrel (check craigslist*). 1 pump (i used a 200gph pump i bought off of amazon). grow medium (hydroton expanded clay grow pebbles or pea gravel is preferred). 1/2" piping for pump to beds, and siphon to tank (a 10' pipe is about $2 at the hardware store). 2 - #18 o-rings 2 - #14 o-rings bell siphon: 1 - 3/4" pvc pipe, 18.

With the constant droughts we're suffering here in georgia, i'm hoping to give some of my gardening a relief from the heat and dry weather by doing my growing indoors. since i've already got a fully-stocked and well-cycled 55 gallon tropical aquarium, i thought it would be natural to use this as a starting point for my first foray into aquaponics..
