Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hello all! My name is Michelle, I'm new to Aquaponics but I can already see this turning into an addiction It all started so innocently...I was checking my email a couple of weeks ago and I received an advertisement for this cute little counter aquarium with herbs growing out of the top and I thought what a great idea. I almost bought it for my husband, the cook of the house but my curiosity got the better of me and I Google searched Aquaponics systems. So for the last couple of weeks I've done nothing but research. I can't tell you how many Youtube videos I've watched and then I found the wonderfully informative video on how to build an IBC Aquaponics system and it brought me to your forum. I can't wait to meet you all and I can't wait to start building our first system. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, I'm just glad I have a place to turn when I need advice/help.

Welcome!!

Welcome Michelle

All the info you will need is here.

Keen to hear what your plans are, and once you start remeber, we love photos

Nice to meet you guys

I'm new to aquaponicss too and live in northern central Florida. Altoona to be precise. That's in lake county. There is an aquaponics farm over this way that gives farm tours. I went on the tour on Sunday and it gave me a lot to think about. We just finished building our system two days ago and are running the water to get the nitrification process started. Depending on where you are at there are some great resources in the area.

What farm gives tours? I work in Gainesville and would love to go see what they are doing.

They are in Yalaha. That's south of Leesburg. Their website is aquaponicslynx.com

Your welcome to look at my system, even though it is new but the Yalaha farm is a great place to learn. I'm in Altoona. Getting some tilapia delivered this week. Yeah!!!

BTW, sorry it took so long to reply. I've never replied to a blog and I thought it would notify me when there were other responses.

Thank you
