Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi im form Tepic, Nayarit, México, im new to aquaponics, this is my first system.

The system is fully cycled and the fish have been in the tank for over a week.
(plants for 3 weeks).

Its a CHOP system made on wood and fiberglass.
The system is in a plastic house and the fish are in a 1000LT water tank.

Attached some photos.



Fell free to give advice and comment.


Best regards

First my concerns Is that water tank up on the roof? System looks like it will work provided there is enough support for that much weight to be on the roof (2192 lbs or roughly 1000Kg for the fish tank). Beds will be approximately 40 % water the rest rock. It looks from the photo that the center of one bed might be sagging if so probably should add some support.

Otherwise, looks like the plants are doing well. Keep us posted Carlos

Scotty they look fine,in the closest bed thats a plastic pipe running along the bottom of the tank making it look like its sagging,there appears to be a sturdy metal bracing underneath to support them.The fiber glass would crack and leak with any amount of movement.
Looks good,but where is that fish tank?

The center of the beds looks to be sagging because of the fiberglass, when it dries sometimes it pulls the wood inward, but otherwise its really really robust. The weight .... well im not a civil engineer so we will se.

The tank is just begind the grow beds, the frkn calabazas are to big, but maybe you can see it.

Nice shade for your system. I see the tank.



Me neither. Looks like the outside of the balcony is supported so that's a good thing.

Cheers

Looks good pechan. Well done!
