Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Years later, after graduating college, getting married, moving half way across the country, and having a family, the addiction remains. We're currently in a house with a nice sunroom, which is housing my 75 gallon with breeder fishes and a smaller tank holding the babies that are going outside as soon as night time temps warm up a big higher. The concept is simple...free food grade buckets from the local bakery, Affnan's GLORIOUS external siphon, 2 hole-less overflows that are very popular at monsterfishkeepers, and glorious southern sun.

^-my proof of concept, hydroponics setups, and ramblings from years ago.

Let me know what ya think of the setup, it's current goal is only to house the breeders and the babies until it warms up a bit more and keep cleaner water (unfortunately utilizing water changes)
