Hi all. Another newbie to aquaponics and, as you can see, well and truly hooked. I have been thinking about this type of system for quite a while and attended a workshop conducted by Faye and Carl that was extremely informative.
The catalyst was my vegie gardens were being decimated by the palms next door consuming every bit of goodness I could pour into the soil. This is the perfect solution I think. Time will tell.
As you can see by the pictures the beds are still in place as I have 3 citrus trees "growing" and would like to save them by transplanting them into seperate aquaponic beds. Has anybody has any success/tips on this? The beds will eventually go giving access to both sides of the grow beds.
I have planted all the grow beds with seedling and seeds about a week ago and introduced 80 trout into the FT on Sunday. They are thriving by the looks of it and I will post some photos of them soon. Some of the pea seeds are sprouting already.
I would appreciate any comments/suggestions. I am already considering replacing the bath as it tends to fill up quickly hence the pump is working constantly.
