Hello all. My wife and I live on Marine Corps Base Kaneohe Bay in Oahu and have recently started an aquaponics system. We are really limited by the size of our backyard and what base housing will allow (we're pushing it).
System specs:
50 and 75 gal (189/283L) sumps connected
200 gal (757L) FT w/ 30 Tilapia (all less than 1/4lb 113gm)
(4) 26 gal (98L) GB's
(1) 75 gal (284L) GB
Mag 7 pump
CHIFT PIST
System is about 3 months old after cycling. All tests read 0.
I have almost 15 years of saltwater reef tank experience so caring for fish, the plumbing and the testing is no problem... growing veggies is a whole new ball game. Mrs. Chap has a lot of gardening experience but we are learning as we go and doing a lot of reading here.
Everything is level, the yard just slopes a lot and the fence follows the yard. Sunshade is going on top of the pvc trellis and some bamboo fencing will eventually wrap around all the cinder blocks.
Aloha
