Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I personally like the weathgrass tray grow on the stacks, they are using soil in the net pot....water looks clean!
They seem to have a decent filtration mechanism but I think it looks overpowered on areation, look the video and you can see a gayser coming up from some fish tank.
Most of the plants in the video do not look particularly good, potassium deficiency on basil, cuccurbit not looking great either, root/stem rot and dumping off desease, many plants looks stretched and yellowing leaf is abundant.
I think the video has beeen taken when it was still a young system, you can obviously see the DWC raft have not been drilled yet.

It looks like they've got their act together a bit now.... but the startup video was frankly just plain embarassing... I can't understand why they even posted it...

They didn't post it on the website at least, I've found it around and I tought it might have help to see what they are up to, probably they would not like it and I'm sorry if this will not look good on the portfolio, I also pointed out that it was just been set up and of course we all know the painfull stages of a stabilisation process.
It seems they have the horticultural experience judging by the rest of the facility.
I only hope they would have been here among us to share some personal experience.

From more research and videos;
1)they do plant tissue analysis to correct the nutrient deficiency
2) they are member of "THE AQUAPONIC ASSOCIATION"
3)They are student of Friendly AP

Well one out of the three might be beneficial for them....

Being a member of the Aquaponic Association?

Am I right?

Did I win a prize?
