Introduction
I have been looking into Aquaponics and aquaculture for years and finally took the plunge last year and built my first system.
Do you currently have an aquaponic system up and running?
I have a 50 gallon storage tote which pumps up to a vortex filter then to 4" pvc pipe with holes for pots which contain hygroton/Coconut coir mix spilling into a Tub with floating raft of lettuce which drain back into the main tote.I use a pump on a timer which runs 15 mins every hour and a few times at night to aerate the water. I have tried different plants in the pots but now have mostly herbs and sweet peppers. I have a few smaller totes set up with different ideas and they will move to the patio after spring. Solids removed by the vortex filters are used to fertilize a traditional garden.
What interests you the most about aquaponics?
Growing my own seafood and organic vegetables as well as the building of systems and solving problems which arise. I have always been into gardening and aquariums and this is the evolution of both.
