Hello my name is Santiago and i have plans on building a greenhouse aquaponic system in my back yard. i have zero gardening experience but i am very determined to grow my own food in my own back yard. ive already started laying out the green house but i decided to join a good forum for outside suggestions and help. i am exited to learn this stuff and i hope you guys can help. for starters i have a question regarding the fish tank. i have access to a giant plastic water tank but i dont know if the black plastic is bad or god or if it matters at all. my plan is to bury the tank half ways at least and cut the top off so its a wide opening on top. or i might just use pond liner but i want to have at least 6 grow beds so im thinking i will need a big fish tank and lots of fish. also i plan on using hydro clay pebbles for media. will i be able to use the media for the life of the system or is that something that needs to be replaced? just want to know that for the budget plan. i have some pics of my garden area and the start of my green house. Cheers!
