I am planning to build a aquaponics system, I first need to build my greenhouse to hold it. I'm thinking of using a 1000litre IBC container as my fish tank, I need to know how many trout I can put into it?

30 for starters providing you have all the other bases covered

How much filtration are you going to have ?

30 trout (as suggested) at 500grams each fully grown = 15kg of fish.

That means about 800 litres of grow beds. Another IBC cut in half would do the job :thumbleft:
