1 Plate Aquaponics Grow Bed

thingiverse

This project demonstrates a printable tray with an integrated bell siphon for aquaponic gardens. The grow bed is large enough to accommodate substantial plants and can be printed using a Replicator 1 build platform. As a hobbyist designer, the creator welcomes DOGE contributions. To set up this system, print multiple trays in opaque PLA (to prevent algae growth), ensuring waterproofing. Secure the bell siphons in their designated slots, fill each tray with expanded clay spheres, connect input hoses from the fish tank(s) to the first tray, and stack the trays so that each drain serves as the input for the next. After cycling the system multiple times, it's ready for planting.
