Hi Everyone

My Name is Christian from Trinidad (Caribbean) and i have been getting into aquaponics for the past yr or so. I am an aquaculturist by profession and found the benefits of aquaponics to be invaluable to existing recirculation systems. I currently run one 56 ft dwc trough, some continuous flow gravel beds and a six tube NFT system using tilapia and fancy goldfish as the nutrient sources. I look forward to all the great ideas and collaboration to come!!

Cheers

File comment: Here are the 12 grow out tanks i use for the goldfish once they reach a certain size. As im sure you have noticed i have far too many tanks for just one trough. The answer is yes ... i am going to fill up the rest of the usable area with aquaponics soon ... :)
