Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Here is my first attempt at an AP system. Can't wait to expand into larger scale down the road.

Welcome to the forum Libertyman, nice little system you have there.

How long have you had it running now?

I have had the water cycling for a couple weeks and recently sprinkled kale and lettuce seeds on the grow bed. Then, I transplanted some spinach from my outdoor garden into the bed to help absorb some of the nitrate and to disturb the bed to let the seeds settle.

I didn't expect the spinach to survive since it's so finicky to transplant anyway, but 1 plant is still alive and is stretching for the grow lamp so that's a good sign.

I'm hoping to see some kale sprouts emerge within the week.

It's addicting actually, all i want to do is make improvements and tinker.

Welcome! and great little system you have there
