| Post subject: | Auburn Washington state Guy here |
Well I wanted to Introduce myself I was recommended this site from a guy that lives in washington on another forum. I am new to gardening in general. I started with a raised bed system in the back yard with tomatoes, peppers, some herbs, collards and Pumpkins. I also started seeds for hydroponic system as the winters here get cold and long. so I wanted something I can move in the garage. I kept reading and watching videos on Youtube about Aquaponic and being I have had fish for 13 or the last 14 years I decided to go this route. also in the garage with a small system and I will move to a bigger covered system in the back yard with an IBC or 2. I been doing alot of reading and I already started on the small system... so far I have a spare 30 gallon fish tank and I will have 18l clear tubs set above the tank to pump water up and free fall down with Independent pipes from each tub... I will start this one with Lava rock and see how it does. I have seedlings growing and still waiting on some to sprout but i will load that system with the seedlings... I am so far into this system for about 15 bucks with the tubs and lava rock. I have spares from my reef tank I took down due to moving 3 times in 2 years. do I have a bunch of spare pipe pumps lights. I will upload photos of what I got going so far. I want to have the water running tomorrow to get the cycling started I will put a piece of raw table shrimp to kick start the cycle... |
