I have an IBC that I am going to use as my first attempt at aquaponics. I would like to do this in my basement so that I can harvest all year long rather than going out in the winter, something that my body rebels against. I already have an eco396 pump to use and have built a solar panel system to power everything with, not a greenie just another hobbie I got into. Has anyone else worked in the basement and what are the pros and cons. I am going to start very slowly with just gardening at first and then add fish in. Looking forward to the comments from those with experience. Thanks in advance.
