Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

This is my first system , based in Cornwall England
I setup this system to see what was possible with a small system
Was first set up in November 2013
Now April 14 and have tomatoes plants full of fruit and great looking anise hyssop and lemon grass



growbed 135l afghan flood n drain approx 12 min flood 2 min drain
135 l tank ! Approx 100l at low level , fills another inch or so while g.b is emptying I use a 200watt tank heater to keep temperatures up over winter



135l sump tank , approx 100l when full

1200l per hour small aquarium pump



few small yabbies

Have a dozen small koi in there at the moment , plus a few shrimp in the sump , will go more yabbies in the sump when a chance accurs

System has had it's issues (mainly me over feeding) but is now cranking out the toms

Hello there, you have been busy, keep the photos coming.

You might be best to move those power outlets well away from your plumbing ASAP just in case.

Good point , they started there's as a temporary thing then forgot to move em , cheers
