Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

We almost finished another installation of a 5 bed system today. Things went reasonably smoothly though we did have to juggle things a little to make it fit into the space we had. Because of the pouring rain we had yesterday afternoon we didn't get the truck fully loaded, so we we had to finish loading this morning and didn't get on site till about 10. I'd underestimated the 32mm elbows so we needed a quick trip to the shop as well.

But things went reasonably well.. There's still a bit that I have to go and finish off tomorrow morning, the last bit of the main irrigation pipe, and the drain piping. Plus seeding the beds with bacteria, and stocking with a few goldfish to get the system going before the water heats up and they can stock it with Barra fingerlings.

HUHUHUHhuhuh!!!!
Looks sooo cool- from nada to magnifico!

But wait there is more

Nice day for an aquaponics system

That is quite right. Young Claire did the ground work.

Child labor was banned eons ago

Looks sensational.
Keep up the good work

Looks great,
Are you using your pumps EB?
and
Is the top of the sump tank lower than the bottom of the grow beds?

Once again another great looking system (cool shirts too)

Im guessing those photos are taken before the gb's have been flooded?

Gonna take the goldies out when the barra come or leave them in for fish food?

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

So who's in the installation team.... and when do the rest of us plebs get a shirt.... huhhhh?

Is Peter Faye's hubby?

Where does one get grow beds and tanks like that here in the states?

I think you gotta put in some manual labor to get a shirt
