Ok I’ve been lurking for awhile and I think this is a good time to share my system.

The fish tank is roughly 72”x44”x36” made of fiberglass. The grow bed is roughly 44”x44”x14” 110 gallons, I think it’s a reservoir made for hydroponics. Right now I’m using a mag drive pump that only runs 150gal ph but it seems to be doing the trick.

There isn’t a lot of look at at the moment but I do plan to expand the system as soon as the weather gets warmer.

Anyway here are a few shots, feel free to critique the setup; I’d love some feed backs.

The golden Tilapia arrived yesterday from GoldenTilapia.com... I plan to keep them in a 40 gallon aquarium in my office for a few months. I'm slightly worried the outside temperature would be to harsh on the fingerlings.
