Over the holidays I had the opportunity to head up the California coastline to the little beach town of Half Moon bay to visit with family. While I was there I heard about a commercial aquaponics operation tucked away in a small valley in a greenhouse surrounded by other farming operations. I made the short 10 minute drive to Ouroboros Farms to check it out. After entering the storefront/ farm stand of their greenhouse, I was greeted by a very friendly and welcoming staff member who was more than willing to talk to a fellow aquaponics weirdo . In the front they sell everything from complete kits and books to media, pumps and produce from their system. I also found out that they teach classes monthly. Overall a great experience for randomly showing up at their greenhouse (during normal hours of operation of coarse). :thumbleft:


Here is a link of their websit, check them out

And with their permission this picture I took.

Fish,

There are 2 sets of fish tanks, so 4 in each grouping to run all the rafts and media beds you see in each photo. I can't remeber the length of the beds but they are LONG. each set of 4 tanks has its own set of filters and they run independent of each other.

From the picture it looks like my tanks are the same diameter as those but about half the height and mine are roughly 330 gallons. So, I would guess those are probably in the neighborhood of 700 - 800 gallons.
