Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi folks !

My name is Manu. I'am a 29 yo french guy who recently moved to Poland to start an Aquaponic system with a very good friend of mine. Our goal is to create a commercial setup within the next few years and provide the city with local and healthy vegetables.

At first, we have to learn the job. For the last 3 months we studyed Aquaponics as much as we could. Reading, asking, Youtubing and now we feel ready to start with our first prototype.

We are highly inspiring ourself from the Veridis setup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWGCpJ5b4eg) and have tryed to replicate the same mechanisme in our conception.

- 24 m² greenhouse
- 12 m² of deep water culture where we expect to produce salades
- 1800 l fish tank with Tilapias
- 1 water pump able to move up to 3000 l/h
- 1 airpump (plugged into the oxygen tank and the 2 grow beds)
- 32 mm pipes

Attached is a view of the setup.


The "humus soil tank" is inspired from the Veridis setup. We believe that it's good to improve the bacteries.

Do you see mistakes ? Do you have questions / advices ?

I will keep posting here with photos of the progress. Should arrive very soon !

Kind regards !
Manu

Hi Manu,

I don't know if you've see this but John Parr started this after he left Viridis... looks pretty neat and maybe there is some information you can use.

Hey Scotty,
Thank you for your answer. No i did not know that project, it's a shame it looks to be a must known in the acquaponics work

I will dig into it seriously !

Bests,
Manu
