Mobile/on wheels.
Doubles as a greenhouse.
All Rubbermaid stock tanks. Two 50gal grow beds and One 150gal fish/sump tank.
Running on a modified 25W water pump and 7W air pump at the moment.
Still waiting for water to clear before adding fish.
Going to hold a few goldfish and perhaps one koi permanently. Throwing in Hybrid Bluegill for the first batch of fish.

Hey everyone,
Very new to the forums and just felt like adding in and showing off what I scraped together.

The whole idea for me was year round so I wanted it in my basement so I can avoid the cold (Also don't have the money for a green house.....yet)

I had the lights from starting seeds last year and took time getting the equipment. I when with an external bell siphon to have more room in the grow beds and I liked the adjustability of having it fully accessible. I have a pipe running the full length inside with the bottom cut out for full suction along the beds.

Image

Because of height limitation I went a little backwards and went FT - ST- GB but all is looking good. I didnt like the idea of drilling into the FT so I used the rubbermaid 150 gallon and turned it into a Solids Lifting Overflow.

Image

So Far very happy. I'm letting sediment from the growbeds clear up and then gonna start cycling. In just 2 days it wend from brown to almost clear so I'm looking forward to getting started.

Hi All, very new to the forum but started my venture about 6 months ago this is my first system and can only improve from here.

The only time I have some sanity these days is when I’m outside by my system hearing the water flow brings some calm to our busy life styles.

Some specs on my system.

1.The system is around 1500 litres.
2. Home made swirl filter used a conical drum.
3. 750lt breeding tank that house the fish.
4. 5000lt bio filter with bio balls.
5. Bakkie shower that helps with aeration to the tank.
6. 300lt sump
7. 2500lt pump to supply grow beds.

Thanks Ashley.

This one has a 150gal Rubbermaid stock tank sump/fish tank at it's core. With 2 50gal stock tanks for the grow beds. Super Simple Design

It is on wheels and designed to fit into my 6x12' cargo trailer when I move (military).

My system started out life as an open year-round system down in Mobile, AL. Just moved to Virginia this Summer. So I just turned it into a greenhouse. I obviously have to remove the roof/walls when I move. The gravel and grow beds slide down into the sump tank during transport. Minimal plumbing.

Fish Tank: 150gal (568 liters) Rubbermaid Stock Tank
Grow Beds: 3x50gal (190 liters) filled with 3/8" gravel, and expanded clay pellets. Rubbermaid Stock Tanks.
Pump: 1500 gph (5700 lph), continually on and flow split 4 ways to each grow bed plus one split for circulation.
Looped auto-siphons allow each growbed to flood and drain independently.
Total turnover is about 2x per hour.
Stocked with 55 Rocky Mountain White Tilapia, but I think 30-40 would be optimal for faster growth.
Indoors and heated as needed in winter to about 80F. Solar gain in the sunroom is providing most heat for the water during Spring. Thank heavens tilapia like it hot. Otherwise I might cook them come Summer.

I love the setup. :)
