Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

This is what I've done so far. I'm still experimenting with the spray bar so the hose is just temporary. My plan is to finish off everything in pvc.



With the pump I have this configuration seem to work good.

looks nice, what you planning on growing?

Sorry for the late up date. The weather has finally been getting nice enough to move the system outside. Plus I was getting some mold so the system really needed to be moved outside so it could get some air movement.

Not really sure what will grow these are the seeds I threw in the gb:
Green onions
Parsley
Spicy Mizuna
Cilantro
Mitsuba

The 2 big plants are purple cauliflower and something that was labeled stick broccoli.

what is that pump? it looks fancy!

Putting a hole through your house wall.... no thats commitment!

The pump is just a canister filter without the canister. Its just temporary until I can find the right size submersible pump.



lol..I wish I had the skills to put holes in my wall. The hole was already there when we bought the condo. I think its actually there for the Japanese style heating/cooling units.

i currently use a canister filter in my setup, apparently its a better option as it is the biological filter. rather than getting chunks of mess caught in your grow bed.

You don't use composting worms ??

nope dont use composting worms as i have a floating raft system.. so dont really have a grow 'bed'

Some updates...

Out of all my planted pots and indoor aquaponics system this one seems to be doing the best.

We finally have some nice stable weather so I decided to move the goldies outside. I grow the salivina and duckweed in my planted tank. I'm surprised it actually grows faster then my goldies can eat it.

This is how my system was doing before I had to take it apart.
