Hello all,
As I said in my introduction message(http://backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=4905, the aquaponics system is really interessant to me and I want to get one for sure. But I'm also thinking of using the same kind of installations (probably more plants because of the natural fertilizer quantity) for my waterfowls (actual and futur).
I was thinking if first, is it possible? My actual water rotation system would probably look something like what's following :
1-Ducks swims in water and leave excrements
2-By gravity, the used water is getting down the big filter part (to remove dead plants parts, little rocks, etc.)
3-Water is passing thru UV lights systems to kill every forms of bacteries and all.
4-The water would now pass thru the hydroponic system.
5-Water would pass again in a UV light system.
6-Water would be pumped up to the ponds, clean and pure.
I was wondering what you are thinking of that? I was thinking that this could also provide a source of food for the birds eating a lot of plants like lettuce and it would be natural. Off course, I would get my part of food in that production
Thanks in advance!
Frank
