How to Make small Aquaponics wicking bed kit. (Architect's Exploded plan)

1. Get your fish-tank. The recomended minimum size for a fishtank is 200 Liters as one block unit. Drill 2 holes on opposite sides and tie some nylon string as 'braces' to prevent the tank from buckling when it's full. the top 'oblong' shape will bend outwards when the tank is full, and this will cause cracks. So you need to keep the oblong shape of the tank, by tieing 1 or 2 "strainers" across the lesser width. Cost: $60 2. Build your table to sit above the fish tank Click Here for >>> Free Plans for stable table <<< The table should be stable so the legs wont cave in. The table should be light enough for you to carry into place during installation. if you can attach wheels to the whole thing, so you can move the kit. Great! 3. Get your wicking-bed tank The wicking bed should be at least 30cm deep, and a max of 40 to 50 cm deep. Having one wicking bed instead of two or more in sequential series, is better.
