Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi everyone, my name is Mihaela, I'm from Canada. I have a greenhouse long 75ftx20 ft wide x9' High. I will like to transform the greenhouse in a aquaponic system. Grow fish and vertical plants. Since the greenhouse is so big I'm thinking to dig up the dirt from the inside,and use isolated shipping containers droped in ground, either hole or cut in half for stages, for the fish. On top to have either vertical or beds of plants with one holds more plants. I need some help with ideeas and design that will work.Thank you.

I also consider to make the fish tanks out of cement, it seems to be cheaper and less work about leaks,and all that.Makes more sense to have a 3'x75' long tank 4 or 5 ft deep that will keep the fish, and on the other side,same 3'x75 'long second tank that will be nursery,stage one etc. For the filter maybe 4000 litre tank, that will be outside the greenhouse in a second greenhouse. need some help with ideeas and design that will work.Thank you.
