Constructing the Pipes in an Aquaponics System

Today I finished drilling holes into the pipes. There process of drilling the holes was unexpectedly easy. Also, it was rather quick. To clarify, we are using 4 inch triple wall drain pipes, each ten feet long. In the end, we will have 11 plants growing in each tube for a total of 33 plants. Eventually, I hope to expand the system to have two pipes running side by side for a total of 66 plants.





Looking towards the future, there is still a lot that needs to be done until I can begin to grow something in the system. First, I will need to buy tubing to connect the pipes for the water to drain through. Then, I will need to attach the end caps to the tubing.
