Hello my name is Rick from Tampa, Florida. I have a 10,000 gallon pool that we never use. I decided to make it into a Aquaponic Pond. Any help would me much appreciated. I have read the posts and your members really know their stuff. Thanks

That might prove more complicated than you'd think. And expensive with the number of grow beds required to filter just half that capacity.

Search 'pool' in topic title only, there are a few systems around.

Nah bunny, its a very workable way of doing it.
There are many different methods that can be employed, especially if fish are more important than plants to you.
if he only wanted to do 10-20 fish, he may not need any filtration for the first 6 months to 1 year, perhaps longer depending on fish size and type.

10000 US Gal is about 37800 L. What sort of pool is it:- concrete, fibreglass? salt water or chlorinated?
