Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Our new system has been running for the past 2-3 month i like to show you our system in our small yard


1 Grow Bed at this time the main sump 300L next to it covered. The PVC up top on the fence is going to be used for our strawberries but have not started yet


Main fish tank 1000L IBC next to an barrel 200L which is used for the waste


air system powerful pump but i noticed since adding it the food's more greener and growing faster then before


The fish 8 silver perch 20 jade perch there not attacking each other which is a big great


custom made filter help's keep the water clean when the rain come's since it makes the water brown some time's


every thing from hear is gravity fed to the grow beds since the fish tank is higher


the waste tank working well


the waste sucker


again gravity fed 50mm pvc the other pvc is the return water from the sump


Lettuce are growing fast i put them in last week and now there growing mad never seen this before the air does something i have to say


i use flooded grow bed the black poly is just to help with the noise


under the grow bed did not want to use Glue but had to stop the leaks tried other stuff but still leaked


the sump with gold fish 5. again air is really good the pump only use's around 30-40 watt's it does 5000L it has to lift 1.4M which is great for that kinda power
