Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi there!


I've currently got a hydroponic setup in a greenhouse. I have put in a fairly large pond outside which i was planning to start playing aroung with Aquaponics with.

However, before i can even get started... i need to clean the water to rid it from heavy metals.

I live in an area which they've been doing a hell of alot of geo-engineering - spraying reflective materials into the atmosphere to reflect the sun's ray's to "stop global warming"

Generaly after heavy spraying, my sky's will look like this . The misty stuff will eventualy fall to earth, and in this case it's had a long time to fall and deposit into the pond.

I know i will have to enclose the area if i'd like to use it for Aquaponics so i dont get the Aliminum falling/building up in the water.



but the main problem is - how do i go about cleaning / removing the heavy metals from the pond ?

thanks!
