First try aquaponics system

Step 4: Add the fish tank stuff

Center the fish bucket on the lower part of the cart and tie it on.

Cut three pieces of hose: one to go from the pump up to the grow beds, and two to branch out into the beds. Drill a hole every couple inches on the two branching out hoses, and plug one end of each of them with hot glue. Connect all the hoses with the t-fitting and plug the pump on to the end of it's hose. If you pump can't lift the water high enough, shorten the hose as much as possible.

Zip-tie the air pump on to the cart somewhere. Tape a rock to the end of the air hose for an anchor and drop it into the fish tank.

Great project and fabulous photos! One comment: it may be a good idea to use non-transparent pipes for delivering the water into the growth-beds. Transparent pipes tend to grow all kind of weed-like greens inside them, where light-blocking pipes (regular garden hoses will do), prevents most of it.
