Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

finaly got photos of system located in Gidgegannup W.A . we have 85 silver perch in this 1200l tank haowever 50 belong to a friend he just hasnt picked them up yet. The grow tanks are just 2 pond inserts 1200mmx600mmx300mm deep I planted one out about 4 weeks after I introduced the fish. then the other a couple of weeks later. all the plants I have planted have been rejects from the nursery we wouldnt normaly sell
so far the only plants I have lost have been rockmelon seedlings.the most impressive development has been from the silverbeet which I didnt expect to live but has doubled in size in the week sinse I planted them,still a bit hard to see in these photos though.Still have some spare space though & will be planting some strawbs soon.

Nice tidy setup. Good use of the plants giving them a second chance in aquaponics, LOL they will outgrow thier siblings now!

nice photos too Post new ones every time the plants double in size

Nice one NM.. I had seen similar browbeds to those in the shops, but they had all the bottom corners cut off, so the base wasn't square, and these wierd cut off corners felt a bit flimsy.. It looks like one of the beds has sagged a little there at the sides, is it sagging badly, I notice the other one doesn't seem to be? Bit hard to tell from the pics...

How tall is your fish tank?

Great work....

Thanks for the Pm warning on the photos you are a long way in front of me great system though
I love this site there are so many option to go for when you decide to go for a set up.
I like the tank setup that's one thing that has me beat at the moment something will come out of the wood work it always will
Keep the photos coming
Q

Setup looks great NM what are you using as a growing medium??

EB, cant remember exactly how deep tank is but I think it is about 600mm deep. both the grow beds have bulged out a little along thier length but not enough to be of concern.

PM, used cracked gravel as a growing medium because my supplier didnt have normal gravel, havent experienced any dificulty planting seedlings.

nice looking system - neat and clean and easy to access too!
Looking forward to the progress pics!
