Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

it's one hell of a system, but as I figure your FT overflows to ST via "filter" then pumped to NFT "water fall" to GB then raft then FT.

Would it be better to flow from FT to GB then flow filtered water to NFT and raft then ST and pump back to FT and delete the "filter"?

hehe . I know.. it's a bit complicated, but is what I want, it's like an experiment, to test all systems in a small space. And I think, is the best way to optimize the small space that I have.



I show an image of the system.. is more easy to understand now




That's the flow of the system, I use "filter" word as solid removal, small sand filter, and mineralitzation (I will put some different rocks), this way, in every cicle, 35% of the total water will pass ( so if I make 3 or 4 cycles in one hour, every hour all water in system will pass throw solid removal ), but I think it's good because 10% will enter to "filter" when water pumps to GB, and the rest (25%) will come when GB are drained. So the flow is more constant. And maybe with this system is more clean. I don't know.. I'm newbie, for this reason I'm asking about... hehe

Hi Ratafia try this; it may help

Appreciate that english is not your first language, but it's a lot better than my spanish!

aero will only work if your water is filtered really really well.

Hi!! This last months I've been working with the greenhouse. It has been a nice and hard job, but I'm happy with final result. Hope you like it too!

Next step, aquaponics working!!!

I would like to share with you some images of greenhouse building.

Nice work.

Very Nice

Caramba!
Good luck with your hi-tech project Ratafrita.

Thanks guys,

I'll need a bit of luck!!

Wow! Aesthetically phenomenal. It is only a matter of time before that really big blue fish tank beside the greenhouse gets involved.

Beautiful structure and great looking setup. Seeing such widely spaced arches and supports has me a little concerned though.

Really cute puppy -

Really groovy system and greenhouse ratafrita!

thanks!!



The archs aren't supporting many weight. The weight of the roof is supported by 3 Stainless steel rails, and practicaly all weight rests on the tips, so the wooden supports. I was a little scared about that too. But I'm bit relaxed after seen strong winds hitting structure, and greenhouse not even noticed that.





My mom will kill me if I put something more in the garden...
