Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi y'all!

I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's systems, all the pictures and technical details are greatly appreciated.
I was already planning on putting up a greenhouse and was looking at ways of using water for thermal mass. Y'all showcasing your stuff has convinced me AP is the way to go, rather than just having the water stagnating in barrels, with the plus of little fertilizer input and extra protein out.

Trout and crawfish seem to be the likely stock for my tanks. I'm hoping I'll be able to obtain brook trout fingerlings as I find the darker color of the flesh (closer to salmon) more appealing over the rainbow trout.

So now I'm looking to obtain hdpe barrels and IBCs, but have no clue as to what businesses locally are likely to have them for cheap or free, any suggestions would be welcome.

Any other members from BC or Alberta?

the title threw me , I thought we had converted royalty to AP
