Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a short intro about myself. I have been interested in aquaponics since I first found out about it back in the mid to late 90's. It is something that I have wanted to try since then and I have done a fair amount of research into it.

It has not been a possibility however because I am from Alaska and that is not the best location for such an operation. However about 2 years ago my wife an I moved out of Alaska to West Virginia. We live in a part of the state that is in zone 5 which is colder than other parts of the state but I think that the conditions will be fine here.

I am collecting some of the things that I will need to put a system together but have a little ways to go before I start constructing anything. I am sure I will have a lot of questions along the way.

Anyways I am glad to be a part of this forum and hope to learn some things and share my progress getting set up.

Thanks,
Greebe

Welcome aboard Greebe.... you might not be in Alaska anymore... but if it's pretty cold where you are in Virginia...

Then this thread might give you some ideas... viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1378&p=44014

Or there's Zsazsa's thread... in Hungary.... viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9276&p=267366

Welcome aboard Greebe i am sure you will find the forum interesting and informative!!!

Thanks for the welcome. I will start browsing through those links. There are a lot of pages so it might take some time. The one problem I Think I might face is finding a big enough fish tank. I would like to find a IBC but I have not had any luck so far. I might have to just build a tank out of wood and then use pond liner for now.
