Gary a friend and very keen on this subject.(passion....the correct formula for success)
planning and designing our next system and will start building the system next week.
wanting fish in dam by the end of next month.
this system will be scaled to Dr James Rakocy UVI Aquaponics System.

this will be the first sytem of our future plans(call it a pilot project).
in future we want to use this model for expanding to go bigger......
my garage...... then my pilot project......... and NOW for the real thing..........
cant wait

oops .....sorry

Best of luck Francois looks like a clean and neat design. Hope you can stay on that scheduale. Are you going to use those liner GBs that you can so conveniently rolled up?

hi all
abdul the system changes but the old trays will be re-used somewhere
even if for the worm farm
the system will have 1 dam +- 8000 litres -split into 4 cycles
4 flouting cages for constant stocking and harvesting.
the cycle would be dam - solid removal - into growbed - into duckweed sump - back into dam
1 big growbed and that will be a flouting system.
load pallet one side and harvest other side.
me thinking.....

Big hello to Ozzy, Francois

abdul
regarding "Hope you can stay on that scheduale"
I have been looking at the layout this weekend and
I see a lot of work before any fish will go into the dam.
On that one i would say no we want but lets see.....
lucky for us the system is going on a tennis court.
so we have a perfectly 17 meters by 40 something meter flat tar base.
everything will be on top of the slab and the dam will be lifted for gravity
let's see.....

will do.........

Great score on the tennis court!

WELL.......
This is a small system I have been designing to build in my back yard and actually having to take a lot into account due to space and sun light.....I have come up with a good size system to play with.

I dug foundations yesterday and this morning i mixed and threw the foundations.
200 wide and 80 deep.
