Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I am thinking of downsizing to a smaller system. I was looking at a green house that is 10'X12' I also saw one that was 6'x8' greenhouse. I am wondering about how much production could be expected in such an area. Any ideas are welcome. This is just a idea at this time. Probably 6 months from now. see harbor freight greenhouses for a basic idea of what I am thinking.

I am figuring that an IBC would be a good tank because it is square and would fit better than a round tank. How many fish could you stock in a 1000l ibc?

I'm using a HFGH 10x12 for my system. You can see some of the details from the links below, or my blog at http://web4deb.blogspot.com

I like the 10x12....but always wish I had something bigger!

Hey Machineman,
How much growbed space have you got?
For a 1 metre (39") square growbed 12" deep 250 litres of media I would say 10 fish that are capable of growing to 500g would be safe.
(I tried with the conversion!) If you have another growbed you can double the numbers.
You could stock with more if you are looking at goldfish. Hope this helps.

I am going theoretical here. Lets assume 1500l-2000l of grow bed space for the 1000l of tank. It depends on how well it could fit it in the GH.
