Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Picked up a basic system second hand from someone I work with occasionally. Have not had good results trying to get seedlings to grow yet, but I think this is mainly a factor of growbed:water height, which is hard to control with the current layout. Heavy rain has brought the demise of all but two seedlings I have had in the system.

Currently waiting on a few remaining parts to come in for my siphon/drain upgrade, and also waiting on a few more IBC's to become available.

I hope to expand the system in the next few months to incorporate the additional grow beds I have recently made up, as well as a larger fish tank. I am hoping to have Barramundi as my fish, and perhaps some Black Bream as I can source both locally. I'm also keeping an eye on the sun, as there isn't many locations I can easily use for the system, and with the bed against the shed wall it loses full sun around midday.
