Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi guys, im approaching the stage where im having to think about starting my IBC system cycling, i've read about helping the process with some water from a pond or another system.

I have a pond already in the backyard with moving water, some frogs and plants, would this be ok?

I also have a friend with a coy pond (though poorly maintained) that could be another option.

and whether yes or no, how much water should i take?

thanks.
