Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I've have 2 ibc's connected with one bed on top of one of the ibc's. I cut the other before I knew what I was doing so I couldnt make 2 of them the same. I just completed a long wooden bed with a bell siphon that works great. I live along a brakish water canal so to save money I am using brakish water in the tanks. I have about 75 tilapia living and now that the temps are rising growing. I have tomatos beans lettuce and cucumbers growing. My tomatos plants are huge but no fruit yet.

Welcome to the forum Dallas, sounds like your underway there.

We would love to see some pics

Welcome aboard!

I thought i did post a pic but i guess it didnt work so i will try again and woohoo i see fruit on the tomatos and peppers

I have a filter barrel and a sump barrel between the 2 ibc's and I have one pump running to the far tank through the 3 in pvc with plants growing in the water there. another pump runs to the bed on top of the close IBC and it has a bell siphon to drain into that ibc. all of the water drains out of the close IBC and through the raised wooden bed with a bell siphon back to the filter.

These are pics of my first fruit from my aquaponic garden I am very excited. I really have been having a lot of fun watching this grow

Kewl Dallas...
