Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

No other filter besides grow bed

Your point about algae made me realize my tubing is translucent, whoops

I borrowed a greenhouse from a friend and I'm putting it up now. I did not have the right pieces initially and several bolts were broken off of one end. We decided to put up the three middle sections first, very bad idea. Very unstable

We tied down to 55 gallon drums filled with water to hold in place until we got the right pieces from storage. Then the end was missing bolts and one piece was bent. I have a friend fixing them tonight with a welder.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the greenhouse frame setup and can order my wiggle wire and plastic. I moved two IBCs in there already and will be starting some tomatoes soon. Planning Dutch buckets with perlite media inside nylon paint sacks as filters, and that inside a bucket. We'll see how it goes.

Will also build a lettuce raft system to experiment with DWC. Also some custom vertical towers to experiment.
