Been planning to setup a trickle type growbed for growing anubias emersed so we decided to do a little setup to test if the anubias will grow better in such environment before any larger scale projects.
Reusing some PVC , a meter of garden hose, an old water pump we had lying around and some nylon to hang the finished trickle pipe, we got to work.
After setting it up in an old tub we had and plugging the water pump to the outlet, the rain shower noise that the trickle setup made excited the nearby budgerigars.
Hoping for the anubias to do well so we can work on a larger scaled trickle farm setup on the spacious area we have at the rooftop of our current building.
A solar powered pump would be great to go with such setup, especially in sunny areas.
Propagation of duckweeds in the pond below that captures and returns water to the trickle pipes can be used to provide goldfish and koi with fresh greens every other day as with the right conditions, duckweeds can multiply pretty rapidly.
We will be updating the emersed growth of anubias in a couple of months time and hopefully we'll get good results. Watch the Anubias trickle farm setup in action through the video link below.
Till next time, happy pet-keeping!
