Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Thought I'd post up pictures of my system that I bought of Steve of these forums.

14 SP, 1 died early on and 3-4 suckers think I've killed 2 moving things around (poor buggers)







Started as a hydroponic type setup with the tubes so I kept them going. Tomatos will need a hacking back to see if they want to go again or plain ripped out, they we're of decent size in hydro and I don't think the aquaponics has got enough to keep up with the nutrients they want at the moment.



Tanks going nicely I think, there's a bit of algae but was a lot worse, tanks and bottom were covered. I think the suckers and perch are getting into it, suckers have doubled size in a month or so.



Only problems I seem to be having is with melons, they just seem to shrivel up leaves then sprout a whole bunch more green ones not to long after.

Also looking to remove the tubes and get another 2nd hand bed in its place

Might be a bit of a lack of nutrient Skum.. Thats a fair plant mas for only a few fish, I assume the fish are fairly small? Also be sure to use a good quality feed.

yeah I thought it was to much load, the tomatos were that size before i even had fish going, the fish are probably as long as your hand and fed with food from you guys.
