Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Short intro....

About me:

Born in Germany... 2008 I had enough of the life as a waiter. Looked for something new...
Moved a bit arround the world, till I settled down in Indonesia 2010...


About my dream:

When I started a new life, I had a vision of a sustainable farm (Like so many other people too ) Renewable energy, Permaculture, Eco architecture, Clean Tech.... Bla bla bla... more a dream of a center where I can stream all those amazing things that could change a life...


But I realized very fast (after one year suffering), that it is not that easy to find people who want to do such a project together with you... especially if you don't have penny...

So I worked... but in those fields that fit to my vision... to my dream

So now I can see 2013 coming... and somehow I still stick to my dream! and this years of suffering seem to pay out finally...

I found a chance to live my dream...

And from all the amazing things... I picked Aquaponic to start with...


And I hope that I can find some support for my first system in this community...

Best regards to all of you!!!

Having a dream, is a good thing. It keeps you moving. I do still have a dream too!

Wish you the best, and when you start, if possible post pictures.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the dream time. Cheers

Welcome to our forum Sunnyfarm.

Thank you so much for this welcome...

okay... sure... i will upload some pics..



thats me... working for Ranchmarket 2010/11 (one of Javas finest Supermarket group...
Thats where I want to sell the vegetables and fruits later (organic quality)



2011/12 I worked in the renewables, where I set up Jakartas largest PV-System (more then 3000 modules on a high rise building)... In this time I opened great sources for solutions, and technology...


and that is me now...
In central Java... in an amazing village...


We produce Batik here... the colors, the painting... everything handmade and organic...


We also cultivate orchids and bamboo...


In addition every village house became a small green house where they help us growing the orchids, while they reseive an additional income...



And this is the area we want to install aquaponics...
And if this runs successful, I have the backup to install AP systems to all the village houses...

We also already cultivate Tilapia and Catfish...

And we also produce seeds and seedlings...

We have an certified lab...

And through our workshops (traditional dance and music) we are already the center of our community...

I think I am well prepared to do my next step... and this would be my first AP system....
