Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Greetings everyone!

We are setting up an Aquaponics demonstration system in India at my backyard space.
It is almost 2 months old and have over 4000 fishes in a 55 kL pond.
There are over 500 different plants growing in a combination system of E&F growbeds and using NFT.

I have been looking at various Backyard Aquaponics forum posts for ideas, they are immensely helpful. I am so thankful and happy to join you all folks today.

Look forward to more useful posts and to share our experiences - good, bad and ugly ones.

Anyone doing active aquaponics in India?

Kind regards, vkn

PS: Our first spinach crop is ready.. we will make a partial harvest tomorrow. Now I get to grow food and feed people. This is so much more rewarding than my previous BPO businesses

Welcome vkn, we'd love to see some pics.

Enjoyed the video and the system looks like it's going great. What kind of fish do you have?
