Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hello from sunny South Florida. Just getting started in aquaponics. I have done some research and reading, but still tons to learn! I have started a system based on a 120 gallon pond we had and have added two grow beds and 2 vertical towers. Put a few fish smaller fish in to get the system started and have a few plants in as well. The grow beds are using a bell siphon to flood and drain. Currently the 2 beds are linked where one is filled and the other has the bell siphon. They flood and drain together. Here is what the system looks like so far:



It's a start! Look forward to learning more and being a part of the community.

Shawn, very neat looking. What are those GB's? How big is your FT? What species are you raising? Tilapia? Good luck!

Thanks CoachChris. The grow beds are back tubs I got a local hydroponics supplier. They are 30" by 30" on the inside and allow me to have 10" of media. The fish tank is 125G and I plan to have tilapia in there. Still cycling the water using some blue gills I got. Once it's cycled, I hope to add the tilapia.

Nice neat system you've built I like the chair as well.
