Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Update to this post. Plants are doing amazing. Peas growing all over the rafters, squash growing over the media bed, down to the floor, tomatoes tied up to the rafter and flowers everywhere however, fruit production has been extremely poor. 3 tomatoes, one huge cucumber, several smaller squash not growing very much, the chiltepin peppers have lots growing but thats about it. I added a 50% shade cloth, exhaust and input fan at opposite ends of the greenhouse. Water is staying in the low 80's. Fish seem to be more or less active depending on the PH. About 12 died in April and May, lost only one since and they are growing. I shake the tomato plants for pollination but shaking all the plants doesnt seem to be doing anything so I am thrilled with the plants but disappointed in the production. Adding about 10 gallons of water a day due to evaporation, filling two 5 gallon pails in the morning and then putting that water in the tank the next morning.
