Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Nebbie here,
My wife and I have put in a greenhouse AP system in our back yard over the winter; we are going to be raising Tilapia in the fish barrels.
The grow bed is 22' long set up to flood every 2 hours, with a 20' constant flow pipe above it for our lettuce and strawberries.
We have a 125 gallon sump, (6) 55 gallon barrels for the fish, and a 75 gallon aquarium for the small fry and breeding.
In the grow bed we are currently growing strawberries, 3-types of lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, 2-types of tomatoes, cabbage, and we are trying to root some roses.
In pots around the grow bed we are growing spinach, carrots, cilantro, basil, thyme, tomatoes, cucumber, and oregano.
We have about 70 Tilapia in the system right now, 25 -2" fingerling's and 45- 1/2 to 1" fry.
We have been amazed at the growth so far of the vegetables; the strawberries started producing fruit after 3 weeks in the system.
Please tell me what you would change if you could.
Thanks
